Christian Hutzinger
Last position:
Senior Full Stack Developer at Adria Magazin GmbH
Jesolo Tickets – Booking platform for tickets
Concept and implementation of a multi-tenant booking platform for the online sale of bus and ferry tickets in the Jesolo region (Northern Italy). Travel agencies and event organizers embed a customizable booking widget on their own websites; travelers check live availability, book multiple passengers, and pay online in just a few clicks.
- Real-time booking: Schedules and prices come live via the transport providers' API; after payment, the tickets are automatically delivered as QR-coded PDFs – with no manual issuance.
- Provider architecture: New providers can be onboarded without code changes; an origin-based multi-tenant model with its own domain and payment configuration for each partner site makes the platform grow with every customer.
- Clean architecture: 3-tier structure (handlers → services → data store) with caching – availability checks stay fast and maintainable even with many parallel requests.
Tech stack: Go, Echo, PostgreSQL (pgx), Stripe, Web Components, Tailwind CSS, esbuild, Docker, GitLab CI, Hetzner VPS

About the technology
SOAP basics
SOAP, or Simple Object Access Protocol, is a message format for structured service communication over HTTP, HTTPS, or other transports. It is common in enterprise systems that need strict contracts, predictable payloads, and clear fault handling.
Where it fits
- Connecting older business systems
- Exposing stable APIs to partners
- Handling complex XML-based transactions
- Supporting security and policy controls
SOAP is often used when teams need formal interface definitions and long-lived integrations. In Austria, it still appears in banking, insurance, logistics, and public-sector environments where reliability matters more than lightweight design.
Tooling and standards
Strong professionals working with SOAP know WSDL, XSD, XML namespaces, and related WS-* standards. They also work with tools that generate clients, validate messages, and test service contracts across different systems.
What good specialists deliver
A strong SOAP specialist does more than send XML over the wire. They design clean contracts, handle versioning, map faults properly, and make sure authentication, encryption, and schema validation are consistent end to end.
When to bring in help
Bring in freelance expertise when a service is failing in production, a partner integration must be rebuilt, or a legacy endpoint needs modern support without breaking consumers. Companies also look for outside help when internal teams know REST well but need deep SOAP knowledge.
Working model
SOAP work often needs close review of WSDL files, sample requests, and server responses. Many tasks can be done remotely, but on-site time can help when sensitive systems, internal networks, or cross-team troubleshooting are involved. Clear documentation and access to test environments matter most.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about SOAP? Start with the answers below.
SOAP is used for structured service communication where contracts, validation, and predictable faults matter. It is common for partner integrations, enterprise back ends, and systems that exchange XML through a formal interface defined in WSDL.
SOAP is stricter and more contract-driven than REST. Teams choose it when they need WSDL-based interfaces, stronger message-level policies, or established enterprise standards, while REST is often preferred for simpler, lighter APIs.
A strong SOAP specialist usually knows XML, XSD, WSDL, and HTTP details. Security knowledge matters too, especially for WS-Security, certificates, authentication flows, and message validation across older systems.
A SOAP project benefits from someone who has handled real integrations, not just basic request and response work. Complex fault handling, schema changes, and backward compatibility can create issues that only show up in production if the contract is not understood well.
Yes, most SOAP work can be done remotely if the specialist has access to test systems, sample payloads, and clear interface documents. For sensitive environments in Austria, on-site sessions can help with network setup, stakeholder reviews, or troubleshooting internal services.
Look for clear WSDL design, careful use of XML schemas, and solid handling of errors and version changes in SOAP services. Good work also shows up in readable documentation, safe security settings, and test cases that cover real integration paths.
SOAP is still relevant when a partner, vendor, or internal system already depends on it. New projects usually choose it only when the surrounding ecosystem demands strict contracts, enterprise security, or compatibility with existing service consumers.
Teams often need SOAP expertise when messages fail schema validation, authentication breaks, or a client cannot interpret the WSDL correctly. It is also common when a legacy endpoint must be updated without changing the contract seen by existing consumers.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Austria who have used SOAP in their recent projects is 97 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 779 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers in Austria who have used SOAP in their recent projects, 85% hold at least a Bachelor's degree and 54% hold at least a Master's degree.
On average, freelancers in Austria who have used SOAP in their recent projects have 18 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 3.1 years.
The most common languages among freelancers in Austria who have used SOAP in their recent projects are German (100%), English (100%), and Bosnian (19%).
