Last position:
Fullstack Developer at PLANT-MY-TREE
PLANT-MY-TREE®-per-order
The application enables Shopify merchants to automatically place tree-planting orders for every incoming order. By integrating ecological contributions directly into the purchase process, the manual effort for tracking and billing reforestation initiatives is eliminated. The system increases transparency for end customers through real-time visualizations of the ecological impact directly in the storefront. The architecture is based on a modular monolith with Spring Boot in the backend and an integrated React app inside the Shopify admin area. The solution uses webhooks to capture order data in an event-driven way and integrates the weclapp ERP system for automated monthly invoicing. An app proxy mechanism provides dynamic statistics such as CO2 compensation and planted trees without any performance loss for the merchant shop.
Tasks:
- Design of the modular software architecture based on Spring Modulith to ensure high maintainability
- Development of the event-driven business logic for evaluating Shopify orders via webhooks
- Implementation of automated invoicing by connecting the weclapp REST API

About the technology
ACL basics
Access Control Lists define who can access a resource and what they can do with it. In practice, ACLs control read, write, execute, delete, or admin rights across files, folders, networks, storage, and services. Strong specialists keep the rules clear, minimal, and easy to audit.
Where ACLs are used
ACLs show up in many systems that need fine-grained permissions.
- Linux and Unix file permissions
- Network filtering on routers and firewalls
- Object and storage access control
- Application and API authorization rules
- Directory and shared-resource permissions
What good specialists deliver
A strong professional does more than add rules. They map users, groups, and resources, then shape access so teams get what they need without exposing sensitive data. They also document exceptions, inheritance, and cleanup steps so the setup stays usable after launch.
Tools and ecosystems
ACL work often sits next to identity and security tooling. That includes Linux permission models, Cisco-style network ACLs, cloud storage policies, directory services, and scripts used to review or generate rules. The best experts understand how ACLs interact with roles, groups, and inherited permissions.
When companies bring help
Companies usually bring in freelance ACL specialists during audits, permission redesigns, migrations, and incidents caused by broken access. This is common in Cologne teams that support enterprise IT, logistics, media, and regulated environments, where access rules must work across mixed systems and remote collaboration.
How to judge quality
Look for clear rule design, not just technical edits. Good experts explain why a rule exists, spot overlaps and conflicts, test changes before rollout, and keep the access model simple enough for operations teams to maintain. They should also know when ACLs are the right fit and when roles or policies are cleaner.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions that come up most around Access Control List.
An Access Control List is used to define who can access a resource and what actions are allowed. It is common for file permissions, network filtering, storage access, and application-level authorization. In practice, it helps teams apply least-privilege access without giving broad rights.
A Access Control List gives direct permissions on a resource, while role-based access control groups permissions by role and policy-based access control uses rules that evaluate context. ACLs are often more precise for specific files, shares, or devices. Roles and policies are usually easier to scale when many users need the same access pattern.
A strong Access Control List specialist usually understands identity and access management, Linux or Unix permissions, network security, and audit readiness. Scripting helps with rule reviews, cleanup, and bulk changes. In larger environments, knowledge of directory services and cloud permission models is also useful.
An ACL project can be small if it only involves a few rules, but it becomes complex when permissions are spread across systems. For that kind of work, you want someone who has handled inheritance, exceptions, and change control before. The key is not the title but proven work on similar access models.
Bring in ACL expertise when permissions are messy, an audit is coming, or a migration could break access. It is also useful after security incidents or when teams need to standardize rules across many systems. External support is common when internal staff are tied up with operations.
Yes, Access Control Lists are often reviewed and tested remotely because the work centers on configuration, documentation, and validation. On-site time can still help for sensitive systems, change windows, or workshops with local stakeholders. For Cologne companies, a remote-first setup is usually practical if communication is clear.
Ask for examples of access models they improved, not just systems they touched. A strong ACL freelancer can explain conflicts, inheritance, and testing steps in plain language. Good signs are careful documentation, clean change plans, and a clear method for validating that access still works after updates.
The term ACL is used across many systems, but the details differ. Linux file ACLs, Cisco-style network ACLs, and cloud storage ACLs each have their own syntax and behavior. A good specialist knows the pattern, but also checks the exact product rules before making changes.
