About Me
Just a father with a passion for PHP.
Hey! My name is Sören, an experienced backend developer. I grew up in Berlin and currently live in Bernau near Berlin with my kids and my wife.
I have been fascinated about programming since I was 15. Mainly I use PHP for this, but I am also familiar with other languages like Javascript, Java, C# and Python. I re-evaluate the tools for each task - depending on what works best.
When it comes to solve tasks and problems, I prefer to do it as part of the team. Together, the team will find the best possible solution in a given amount of time. In doing so, I pay particular attention to ensuring that each team member is also listened to.
So far, this approach has helped me achieve the success I needed to take the software product as a whole to a new level. If that sounds exciting to you, let's talk :)

Switched to it a couple of years ago and never want to miss it again. I highly appreciate what Jetbrains do and in my opinion this is the go-to IDE for any PHP Developer.
Jetbrains: PHPStorm
A great framework for great developers. If you haven't made any experiences with symfony, give it a try. Whenever I can, I would work with this framework. Great piece of software.
Sensio Labs: Symfony
A great tool for production and development. It makes the whole lifecycle easier to maintain for all participants and contributors.
Docker Inc: Docker
There are so many integrations for this fantastic communication platform, this can't be ignored. Kudos!
Slack Technologies LLC: Slack
The best work environments I was given the opportunity to work with so far, all used the SCRUM process.
Various: SCRUM
It is a very fast and modern database solution with a lot of support. To be honest, I am probably biased due to my masterthesis, because it compared a few database technologies and postgresql served as an example for it. Of course, I also like to work with MySQL ;)
The PostgreSQL Global Development Group: PostgresRecommended Books
