Why you may want me
So you prefer to read on? That’s just fine. Let me briefly introduce myself a little more: I was born in 1982 and literally grew up with computers and programming. Coding has been my passion since then and I did get a lot of experience in different languages and projects.
I did study Physics and Geoscience and am close to finishing my PhD-Thesis. I always loved how useful my programming skills were during that time. However, I decided to be a full time software developer. Just too often I had to deal with bad software, which really annoyed me. As I love software development so much, this is what I want to do: Deliver great Software!
Until 2008 I mostly developed desktop software. Today I focus on state of the art web and mobile technologies and their combination. I did work in startups and love the scene.
Throughout all the different projects I have been involved in, I did realize how crucial the underlying processes are. To get a great product done, it is not enough to have good coders. It is very important to have a processes and control to deliver in time. Using lean methodologies, we get a feedback loop which ensures you really build what your customers want. Agility ensures focus, productivity and flexibility of your development team.
Besides getting your coding needs done, I will help you with getting your software architecture right. Furthermore we can improve your development process together by introducing well structured, lean and agile techniques.
