Remove it, and a surprising number of requirements turn out to be habits. At Peter Park, Felix and his team build parking without barriers, a product where code meets concrete. In this talk, he shares how first-principles thinking helps them break problems down to what drivers really need, find the moments that matter most, and rethink how product, design and engineering work together when building gets faster than deciding. Expect real challenges, honest lessons, and a few questions to take back to your team tomorrow morning. No parallel parking skills required. **About Felix** Dr. Felix Riese is Head of Product at Peter Park, a Munich scale-up building barrier-free parking. A particle physicist by training with a PhD in machine learning and an MBA, he spent the early part of his career in research and data science. Since joining Peter Park in 2023, he has built up the product, data and design teams and is now scaling them. As a physicist, he brings first-principles thinking to product management, questioning the basic assumptions behind a problem in a way that carries over to almost any domain. Outside work, Felix hikes, organizes chess evenings with colleagues, and can usually be found in the #metal-for-productivity Slack channel. **Talk #2** **to be announced //** ... **About the speaker** ...
