Consulting & Project Management

• Collaborated with and coached customers and colleagues during workshops, meetings and in development of functional requirements and project plans, providing a solid foundation for project work and measurement and tracking of progress.
• Management and implementation of various work packages, sometimes in collaboration with the customer and colleagues, to successfully complete projects at several well-known German Banks.

Technical

• Designed and implemented a highly customizable data processing queue running against an Oracle DBMS, written in Java, using Spring IoC and triggered by JMS (IBM WebSphere) messages.
• Implemented parts of a software platform for a firm wide
  software build & deployment system based on Apache Ant and Jenkins and supporting automated building of roughly 25
  thousand internal software projects.
• Implemented SQL scripts in an Oracle Database to gather data from IBM Algo tables and build reports for daily reporting of Financial Device Trades to BaFin.

Project Management

• Led customer workshops to define new features and
  requirements, providing a basis for functional specifications and improving relations with the customer.
• Developed functional requirements and estimated development effort for new features, which were used as a basis for a contract and to develop a price for the customer.
• Managed the project from planning to implementation, testing and release of new features, ensuring milestones were reached and software maintained a high degree of quality.

Technical

• Independent design and implementation of new features in the software based on GWT (e.g. Browser based printing, generic archive interface).
• Provided documentation about the product (Developer
  documentation, Technical and User manuals).
• Performance test of various components and creation of reports with detailed performance analysis and suggestions for improvement (with “Apache J-Meter”).

Leadership

• Supported employees in development of programming skills
  through mentoring, regular reviews and providing helpful
  feedback.
• Led and coached the development team in design and
  implementation of various features in the software.

Software Engineering

• Development of various features for our platform independent, Personal Information Management product with Apache Derby, SWT, J-Face and Eclipse RCP.
• Implemented email client functionality using JavaMail to provide a full POP3/SMTP email client along with standard functions such as multiple email accounts, HTML editing and viewing of HTML emails.
• Implemented a synchronization feature that allowed syncing of contacts, calendar, notes and To-do's against a “Funambol” cloud based sync server.
• Developed an in-house build system, based on Linux shell scripts and Apache Ant.

Teamwork

• Collaborated and supported a diverse team in running tests on various software systems, ensuring software maintained high quality standards and met specifications.
• Supported the customer during factory acceptance testing at various project milestones, resulting in customer satisfaction and an improved relationship with the customer.

Technical

• Responsible for building roughly 30 software products for
  deployment and configuration in the project test-bed, allowing
  the test-team to run tests after every software release.
• Coordinated with test-team members to manage the test-bed of roughly 20 devices and computers, resulting in a smooth transition between releases and a minimum of disruption to the activities of the test-team.
