In der Projektarbeit zeichnete er sich durch Zuverlässigkeit und Teamfähigkeit aus."
Alle Referenzen sind durch GULP bestätigt.
In recent years I was mainly interested in database-based
client-server-applications implemented in Java. In all project
areas, my main focus was on:
o UML-based analysis and design
o conceptual development
o implementation, code-reviews
o training and coaching as well as
o documentation
o etc.
Thus, whereas I have detailed knowledge of Java and Java-related technologies,
I would like to extend these also to other IT-related areas, such as
o integration tests, performance tests, benchmarking etc (in these areas I
have hardly any experience)
o project management
o Delphi- or C++-based projects
o development and design of web applications based on PHP etc.
