About me
I’m a freelance software developer, enthusiastic about using agile methods, writing clean-code and practicing test driven development (TDD). I have more than 20 years of experience of project work in several sectors and all team sizes. My focus currently is developing RESTful Web-Services with Java and SpringBoot, including all aspects like architecture, development, quality assurance and testing.
I’m a co-organizor of the Softwerkskammer meetings in Cologne and Düsseldorf as well as for SoCraTes - Conference for Software Craft and Testing.
Furthermore I’m a trainer for Spring Boot. The trainings are given in cooperation with Workshops.de.
