Curriculum Vitae

[September 2018 - current]

Back in Hamburg, I wanted to work in a larger company again. With my experience in consulting and development I found a suitable position in an international team, where I am mainly working on our proprietary Mobile Device Management software.

There I implemented a new frontend with Vue.js and took over tasks of the maintainer of various project parts. I also introduced them to GitLab with its CI/CD and helped with the transition from SVN to Git.

I also work directly with clients, consulting them on technical and infrastructural changes.

[June 2016 - August 2018]

I had to return to my home town for personal reasons. Since jobs in the IT industry are very scarce there, I made the decision to risk something by getting self-employed. It wasn't an easy time for me financially, but in the end it all worked out and I gained so much experience by doing it.

Being on my own I worked for SMB's, mainly creating websites and small internal projects. Since I had the opportunity to work independently, I was able to use the tech stack I wanted to try out. This is how I got in touch with Electron, which gave me the opportunity to use web technologies I already knew to create desktop applications.

[May 2015 - May 2016]

During my "Ausbildung" and the creation of first websites for customers I came into contact with various SEO techniques like on-page, off-page and performance optimization. To deepen this knowledge, I applied for an SEO trainee program.

Getting a broader view on marketing and later specializing in technical SEO as well as gaining experience in consulting clients was very beneficial for my later work.

[July 2012 - June 2015]

I started my development career right after school. In Germany it is typical to either study or complete a three-year apprenticeship called "Ausbildung", which is what I did. Half of the time I worked in a company to get practical training and the other half I went to a technical college for theory.

The company I worked for specialized in web development. We mainly focused on custom Joomla and WordPress themes, but also created a SAAS application for real estate agents. It not only allowed them to manage their properties and publish them on many major listing websites, but also to create a custom website around them.
