Core Skills

This is my basic skill set:

• selecting technologies + tools - consulting
• planning system architecture - architecting
• coaching the team - project management
• reviewing code - quality assurance
• and - first of all - writing code - implementation

General gains are always

• to deal adequately with complexity
• favor lightweight solutions to maintain flexibility
• focus on primary problem solution
• establishing the overall architecture

by using Agile methods

This applies to the following exemplary tasks:

• Analysing and refactoring an existing system which has reached its architectural limits (size, performance, memory footprint).
• Planning a new system and starting implementation along with a team.
• Introduction of Standard Open Source tools to enhance a project and/or replace existing proprietary parts.
• Widening an existing project's applicability to new domains (e.g. internet).
• Integrating two systems to exchange data between them.
