  • Software solution for accounting for relevant customer contracts according to IFRS 15 in a telecommunications environment. The goal of the project was the automated detection, evaluation, and processing of contract changes relevant to accounting across multiple connected source systems. Contract and customer data were consolidated, validated from a business perspective, and the resulting business cases were transmitted to a connected SAP target system.

  • A special focus was placed on ensuring data quality and traceability in a business-critical environment. For this purpose, a web-based user interface was developed that transparently displays business cases, aborts, and validation errors and allows manual correction as well as export of affected data. The solution was gradually integrated into an existing system landscape and completely replaced a predecessor solution.

  • Analysis of the process mapping and data collection in the IT system landscape

  • Implementation of the detection and processing of relevant business processes with Java, SQL, and Spring Boot

  • Implementation of validation rules for the processed customer contracts (completeness, correctness, timeliness, integrity)

  • Recording and transfer of accounting-relevant information to the SAP target system via SOAP

  • Design and development of a monitoring user interface with TypeScript and React to assess process quality

  • Replacement of the predecessor solution including data migration

  • Subject-matter support for users as well as support during introduction and operation of the solution

Summary

Sara positions herself as a Senior Full-Stack Developer with a strong focus on combining complex backend logic with intuitive user interface design for business users. Her expertise is based on many years of experience in designing and developing business-critical software systems that place high demands on data quality, traceability, security, and maintainability.

A key focus of her work was the modernization of critical legacy systems. As part of the long-term IFRS 15 accounting project, she not only led the implementation of complex validation rules with Java and Spring Boot, but also took responsibility for the error-free migration of sensitive contract data from legacy systems, including version-safe management of schema and data changes.

Sara’s profile also includes practical experience with modern AI solutions. She developed an AI-supported prototype designed to validate use in enterprise environments. In doing so, she combined Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with modern frontend frameworks such as Angular 20 to make knowledge about IT systems and processes accessible within companies.

In addition to her pure development skills, Sara brings solid experience in UI/UX design (Figma). She translates business requirements not only into code, but also into intuitive user interfaces and supports users with subject-matter guidance when introducing new systems. As a mentor for code reviews and architecture questions, she is an asset to any development team.

We therefore strongly recommend Sara for use in demanding software development projects where domain complexity, technical quality, and user focus are equally important.
