About me

I am a software developer, developing software since 1999 and professionally since 2001 using Java and popular Open-Source frameworks to build enterprise applications. Currently I run the german devision of mimacom a company with around 150 employees in europe.

Before running mimacom I was a employee of Interface21/SpringSource that has been aquired by VMware and became Pivotal in 2013. I have a broad experience applying Open-Source technologies to create enterprise software solutions in the banking, finance, insurance, healthcare, logistics and government industries. Besides technology I am keen into domain driven design and have implemented core-domain implementations for retail, logistics, healthcare and government solutions.
