What makes up a successful engineering team?

For me: respectful interaction with each other, a high level of mutual trust, a continuous exchange of knowledge. In addition, problems should be communicated within the team at an early stage in order to solve them together with the help of deep dives, pair programming or workshops. All this is not only a matter of course for me, but a matter of the heart.

In addition, it doesn't hurt to take a step back from your own code every now and then and dedicate yourself to a colleague's problem. The entire team benefits from this, as not only are challenges overcome more quickly, but cohesion among colleagues is also promoted.

Already during my training I learned in second-level support that communication is an important part of any well-functioning business relationship. My many years of experience in development and project management as well as in support intensified this skill.

In this, I am helped by my always positive attitude, respectful interaction with all parties involved, my technical know-how, and my personal commitment. As a result, I always appear confident and self-assured to customers and my colleagues, thus creating a fact-based and solution-oriented platform for discussions and suggestions.

My demand on a software solution is comparable to the demand of a baker who wants to bake perfect bread. Nowadays, it is no longer enough for software to just work. Software products are the everyday work tool for many people, which is why I have a very high quality standard when implementing projects.

That's why, for me, implementing a good feature starts with a basic understanding of the problem: What challenges does the user face, and how can we help them overcome them more efficiently? How do we increase the product value?

Equally important for me is the underlying technology stack. This should offer state-of-the-art approaches to solving everyday development problems or be created by developing reusable program parts. For me, this includes the adaptation of best practices, the writing of generic classes as well as an appealing and intuitive user interface. Automated unit, integration and E2E tests ensure consistent quality throughout the software lifecycle.

Due to my reliable, punctual and speedy way of working, I quickly gained a lot of trust in all previous employment relationships. Therefore, after a short time I was assigned further tasks, which go far beyond those of a software developer.

So today, together with my colleagues, I take care of our Azure DevOps system (build piplines, PR policies, etc.) and our DevSecOps lifecycle - in addition to traditional software development.

Due to my systematic, solution-oriented and speedy way of working, I have already been able to successfully implement a large number of large and small projects.

This enables me to make precise complexity assessments and at the same time makes it easier for me to maintain an overall view of larger projects. For example, I recognize any resource bottlenecks or sources of errors early on so that these deviations can be communicated.
