Summary

I am a creative optimist passionate about people and the technology that connects them. Solving problems and communication are in my blood. I have a quick grasp and enjoy analyzing processes and their workflows, then optimizing them through software or processes, acting as the link between customers and developers.

I welcome new challenges, acquire the necessary basic knowledge on my own, or exchange ideas with colleagues.

I'm interested in anything that challenges me, whether as a dedicated game master in our role-playing group, in computer games, or with movies, books, etc.

I love coffee and everything that comes with it, preferably: espresso, black.

Skills

  • Domain Driven Design (Ddd): Implementing Projects Under Ddd And Successfully Teaching Project Partners How To Apply It Synergistically. Understanding, Building, And Consistently Using The Ubiquitous Language.

  • Clean Code: Maintaining Code Quality. Finding And Applying Relevant Clean Code Guidelines. Setting Up Systems With Automated Technical Defect Analysis.

  • Devops: Automating Build, Test, And Release Environments Using Pipelines. Containerizing Applications And Automating Application Landscape Rollouts.

  • Agile Software Development: Leading Agile Software Projects And Teams With Iterative Cycles. Setting Up Agile Projects And Training Project Partners.

  • Requirements Engineering: Analyzing And Documenting User Requirements, Finding And Filtering Relevant Ideas. Direct Discussions With Users To Identify Real Software Weaknesses And Set Implementation Priorities.

  • Application Design: Basic Knowledge Of Application Design. A Core Philosophy That Can Be Adapted To Different Design Approaches. Agnostic To Specific Design Systems.

  • Programming Languages: C#, Java, Php, Javascript, Typescript

  • Technologies & Frameworks: Asp.Net, Entityframework, Mongoose, Vue.Js, Angular, Tailwind, Express.Js

  • Preferred Language Stack: C#

  • Preferred Frontend Stack: Blazor Or Vue.Js

  • Preferred Backend Stack: Asp.Net

  • Preferred Database Stack: Mongodb

Over The Years As A Software Developer, I Have Worked With Many Programming Languages And Technologies, And I Have Also Explored Some On My Own. I Always Come Back To C# And .Net Because I Like The Simplicity C# Offers. Vue.Js Is The Most Pleasant Javascript Framework I Have Used So Far, And Blazor Is A Good Alternative If Vue.Js Reaches Its Limits (Or If Webassembly Gets Stuck In Its Current Development Stage).

Mongodb Has Proven To Be The Most Natural Way To Structure Data In A Database. Not Only Rapid Prototyping, But Also Running In A Production Environment Has Shown Mongodb To Be A Competent Choice.
