Vocation
I'm currently working as a team lead and software architect for Lexcom. I consider myself lucky to get paid well for work that I actually enjoy. The most interesting parts are:
- The struggle against human, especially your own fallibility - every bug has a creator
- The systems can be understood completely - if you have enough stamina and skill, any problem can be solved
- Communication is important but not an end unto itself
- The work can never become truly monotonous, because you can automate anything repetitive
Skills
My strengths lie mainly in these fields
- software development in Java
- development processes, especially the Rational Unified Process
- code quality assurance
- performance engineering
- automated testing
- (If desired, imagine a long list of the usually buzzword acronyms here)
I am a native speaker of German and know these foreign languages:
- English - fluent in speaking and writing
- Japanese - well enough to deal with everyday situations
