Udo W.
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
Sybase at a glance
Sybase is a family of enterprise database and application technologies now closely associated with SAP. SAP ASE, formerly Adaptive Server Enterprise, handles transactional workloads, while SAP SQL Anywhere supports embedded, mobile, and branch systems. The ecosystem also includes Transact-SQL, replication, and long-running business applications.
Where it runs
Sybase systems remain important where dependable transactions, established data models, and controlled operations matter. Companies use them for banking platforms, insurance systems, logistics software, public-sector applications, manufacturing processes, and field solutions. In Switzerland, specialists may support systems that must remain stable while teams modernize surrounding services.
Typical project work
- Assess SAP ASE or SQL Anywhere schemas, procedures, and dependencies
- Tune queries, indexes, locking, and transaction handling
- Plan database upgrades, migrations, and coexistence with SAP systems
- Maintain replication, backup, recovery, and operational monitoring
- Connect Sybase data to Java, .NET, SAP, and reporting applications
Ecosystem and skills
Strong professionals combine database knowledge with Transact-SQL, performance analysis, Unix or Linux operations, and application integration. Depending on the environment, they may work with SAP Replication Server, PowerBuilder, JDBC, ODBC, ETL tools, and scripting. They also understand permissions, batch processing, high availability, and careful release management.
When freelance expertise helps
Companies often bring in specialists during migrations, production incidents, performance investigations, or changes to legacy applications. External support is also useful when internal knowledge is concentrated in one person or a system must be documented before modernization. Remote collaboration works well for analysis and tuning; on-site access can matter for controlled environments and operational handovers in Switzerland.
What good specialists deliver
A capable Sybase professional starts by mapping the workload, dependencies, and business risks rather than changing settings blindly. They explain findings clearly, test changes against realistic transactions, and leave behind repeatable procedures and documentation. Look for evidence of SAP ASE or SQL Anywhere work, disciplined troubleshooting, secure data handling, and experience collaborating with application and infrastructure teams.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about Sybase? Start with the answers below.
Sybase is mainly used for enterprise transaction processing, embedded databases, and applications that depend on mature relational data systems. SAP ASE supports central workloads, while SAP SQL Anywhere is common in mobile, branch, and distributed environments.
Sybase is often chosen when an existing application, Transact-SQL codebase, or SAP ecosystem already depends on it. SQL Server and Oracle may offer a broader current tooling landscape, but moving away from Sybase requires careful assessment of procedures, interfaces, performance behavior, and operational dependencies.
A strong Sybase freelancer usually combines SAP ASE or SQL Anywhere with Transact-SQL, query tuning, backup and recovery, and Unix or Linux operations. Knowledge of SAP Replication Server, PowerBuilder, JDBC, ODBC, ETL, and application integration is valuable when the database supports a wider legacy estate.
The right Sybase specialist depends on the risk and scope of the work, not on a fixed tenure. A schema review may need focused database expertise, while a production migration calls for proven experience with dependencies, rollback planning, replication, testing, and business-critical operations.
Sybase work can often be performed remotely when secure access, logs, test data, and clear change controls are available. On-site collaboration in Switzerland may still be useful for regulated environments, restricted networks, workshops, or handovers with operations teams.
Hire a Sybase specialist when the work involves Transact-SQL behavior, SAP ASE internals, SQL Anywhere deployments, replication, or a legacy application whose risks are not obvious from the schema alone. A general database professional may help with broad design questions, but platform-specific troubleshooting can prevent costly assumptions.
A good Sybase professional can explain past decisions, show how they isolate performance or reliability problems, and connect technical changes to business impact. Ask for a practical approach covering dependency mapping, safe testing, monitoring, rollback, documentation, and knowledge transfer.
Sybase is commonly encountered through SAP technologies such as SAP ASE and SAP SQL Anywhere, alongside older application stacks and integration tools. Professionals should be ready to maintain reliable existing systems while assessing modernization paths, interoperability, licensing context, and the operational knowledge that may be difficult to replace.
