Last position:
Julius Bär
Application ownership and further development of test user management (TUM)
Areas of responsibility: Application ownership (Application Ownership / ITSO), application management, incident management, deployment / release management, requirements management, prioritization, further development, automation, and interface management
Technologies: SQL Server, Python, GitLab, UC4, Lieberman, Linux
Responsible for the operation and continuous development of a central application for managing more than 5.000 technical test users and their data.
Gathered and assessed business requirements, independently prioritized further development, and planned and coordinated implementation using agile methods and PI Planning, in close collaboration with the relevant business units and IT teams.
Expanded the central SQL Server database with additional information about test and real users, and integrated further applications through defined interfaces. The modular application used Python-based processing components, with execution and workflows controlled through UC4. This enabled data from different source systems to be automatically transferred, processed, and made available, as well as new test users to be created automatically.
Ensured reliable application operations and continuously optimized and automated existing processes.
Application ownership, modernization, and migration of incident management (TRANT)
Areas of responsibility: Application ownership (Application Ownership / ITSO), application management, incident management, deployment / release management, requirements management, software modernization, migration, interface integration, and quality assurance
Technologies: UC4, Jira, SQL Server, Oracle, Java, Python, Lieberman, Linux, Jai
Responsible for the operation and development of an application that automatically records, processes, and forwards technical incidents in various test environments.
Automated the creation of Jira incident tickets when UC4 workflows were blocked, including routing them to the relevant application managers.
Modernized the application by migrating from Java to Python, moving the database from Microsoft SQL Server to Oracle, and replacing the Jenkins scheduler with UC4.
Integrated the Jira API and used the bank's internal AI solution Jai to support code migration and subsequent validation. Independently and critically reviewed AI-generated results for business and technical accuracy.
Shift lead for operations control in test environments
Areas of responsibility: Monitoring various test systems
Technologies: UC4, TSO, HOST, Azure-Cloud
Responsible for monitoring and controlling automated processing workflows in various test environments, including systems running in the Azure-Cloud.
Monitored UC4 and HOST workflows and analyzed and handled incidents. When processing workflows were blocked, Jira tickets were automatically created through TRANT and assigned to the relevant application owners. In coordination with them, affected jobs were restarted or stopped as needed. HOST processes were also monitored and controlled through OPC.
A multi-shift operation was introduced to ensure stable and as continuous as possible testing.
Test data anonymization manager
Areas of responsibility: Planning/anonymizing/publishing production data for test systems
Technologies: UC4, Informatica (PowerCenter and IDMC)
To ensure test environments could run with real data, production databases were cloned regularly. Production data had to be untraceable in test environments. For this reason, the cloned databases were first anonymized with Informatica PowerCenter and later with Informatica IDMC. Critical tables and columns in the various databases (Oracle, SQL-Server, MongoDB) had to be identified and analyzed at the data level. Rules for handling critical data were agreed with the application owners.

About the technology
What Microsoft Access does
Microsoft Access is a relational database application in the Microsoft 365 and Office ecosystem. It combines tables, queries, forms and reports in one desktop-oriented environment, making it practical for departmental tools, operational records and structured business workflows. Access files commonly use the ACCDB format and can serve as a front end for larger databases.
Business applications
Companies use Access for focused systems that need more structure than spreadsheets without the overhead of a large custom application.
- Customer, supplier and contact records
- Stock, order and purchasing workflows
- Case, project and service tracking
- Scheduling, approvals and document registers
- Management reports and data-entry forms
Ecosystem and tooling
Strong professionals work across Access tables, relationships, queries, forms, reports and macros, then extend solutions with VBA. They may connect Access to Excel, Outlook, SharePoint, SQL Server or other ODBC-compatible data sources. Knowledge of Windows permissions, Microsoft 365, data imports and export formats helps keep everyday workflows reliable.
When freelance expertise helps
Companies often bring in a specialist when an important ACCDB file has become difficult to maintain, a spreadsheet process needs controls, or a database must be prepared for a team rollout. Freelance support can cover data modelling, migration, query optimisation, VBA automation, reporting and documentation. In Switzerland, remote delivery is often suitable, while on-site workshops can help when teams have complex local processes or language needs.
Reliable delivery
A capable professional starts by clarifying users, data ownership, security needs and reporting decisions. They separate interface logic from stored data, use validation and error handling, and test permissions, imports and concurrent access. Clear naming, documented relationships, backups and a practical handover matter as much as a working form or report.
Access and its limits
Access is a strong fit for small to medium-sized operational systems and rapid improvements to existing Office workflows. It may be less suitable for high-concurrency workloads, public web applications or heavily regulated central data services. A specialist can assess whether to keep Access as the application layer, move data to SQL Server, or replace it with a different system while preserving useful business logic.
Frequently asked questions
Everything clients usually want to know about Microsoft Access, in one place.
Microsoft Access is used to create relational databases with tables, queries, forms and reports. Companies often use it for customer records, inventory, order tracking, case management and internal workflows that need more control than a spreadsheet.
Microsoft Access is better suited to related data, repeatable forms, controlled input and multi-step queries. Excel remains useful for analysis and flexible calculations, so many business solutions use Access for structured storage and Excel for modelling or presentation.
Microsoft Access can be a practical choice for a contained departmental system with moderate concurrency and a desktop or Microsoft 365 workflow. SQL Server is usually a stronger foundation when data volume, simultaneous users, security requirements or integration demands call for a central database service.
A strong Microsoft Access specialist should understand relational data modelling, SQL, VBA, Excel and ODBC connections. Experience with SQL Server, SharePoint, Power Query, Windows permissions and data migration is also valuable when Access is part of a wider business system.
The right level of Microsoft Access experience depends on the deliverable, not on the product name alone. A simple form or query may need focused support, while a legacy database with VBA, complex reports, imports and several user roles calls for a professional who can audit and improve the full solution.
Microsoft Access projects can often be delivered remotely through database reviews, shared documentation, secure file exchange and scheduled workshops. On-site collaboration may help when specialists must observe operational processes, and companies should agree on German, French, Italian or English communication needs at the start.
Ask a Microsoft Access professional to explain their approach to relationships, validation, backups, error handling and concurrent use. Review comparable deliverables, request clear documentation and test realistic user journeys rather than judging a solution only by how attractive its forms look.
Microsoft Access databases can often be improved without a full replacement. A specialist may normalise tables, remove fragile macros, refactor VBA, improve queries, add validation, split the front end from the data and connect the application to SQL Server when the workload requires it.
