What I do
Developer
For over 30 years I have been developing web applications. Mostly huge enterprise applications with millions of users and a lot of traffic using monolithic or microservice architectures.
Open-Source
A lot of the tools I use in my daily work are open source. Therefor I feel obligated and privileged at the same time to give something back by contributing to open source projects or creating new ones.
Git & Git-Ops
Over the last two decades I became an expert in using Git and Git-Ops. I created and free online learning platform to learn Git and dive deeper into the advanced topics of Git.
Speaker & Coach
As often as possible I try to speak at user groups and conferences or to do coachings with developers to improve there skills in writing maintainable and testable code and deploying it.
I’m currently working at CHECK24, a big consumer portal in Munich Germany, coaching developers to write better code.
When I’m not writing code myself or reading books about code I try to spent as much time on a board as possible. Whether it is a skateboard, a surfboard or a snowboard - any of these are fine for me.
In my free time I'm also contributing to open source, especially two projects I created named CaptainHook and phpbu. If you are interested you can have a look at the phpbu or the CaptainHook website.
I am co-organizing the PHP user group in Munich and try to get involved with the amazing developer community by speaking at webinars user groups or conferences as often as possible. You find a list of past and future talks here.
