👋 Hi, I’m @rogatec a backend and database engineer since 2011. In real life my name is pronounced tea 🍵 - mohn (the poppy flower in german)

• I actively use the following tech stack: C# (.NET 8), MSSQL, TypeScript (Node.js), MariaDB and since 2025 again PHP with Laravel and Symfony.
• I am also involved in CI/CD processes, Helm charts and cloud deployment with Flux and K8s. Since 2025 I have also started to learn and use AWS and Terraform.

• I started my software engineering career in spring of 2011 with PHP, MySQL and plain JavaScript with HTML/CSS and jQuery.
• I graduated after 2.5 years as a Computer Science Expert Subject Area: Software Development.
• I worked on various PIM systems, making customer-specific enhancements, updating APIs to ERP systems and did a little styling optimizations).
• I also learned the basics of project management, as well as the fundamentals of Scrum and Agile projects.

I had a great tutor back then who was a software architect with extensive experience in database administration and development on MS-SQL servers. Thanks to Axel H. for your insights and sponsorship!

• I worked on a team that developed an ERP system for industrial laundries. Today it is still a leading software company in this sector in Europe.
• I mainly worked on the business logic, which consisted of over 4.000 programmable objects in a MS-SQL database and I improved highly complex stored procedure etc.
• Besides that I maintained and developed APIs (one in VB.NET and one in .NET 6 with C#) to connect industrial laundry hardware and read and collect production data for tracking laundry through the factory.
• In addition, I was entrusted with the responsiblity of sponsoring, mentoring and training four apprentices, ensuring their success in their professional education.

• During those years, I worked on a team that maintained, enhanced and customized enterprise document management systems (DMS) for industry-leading customers in different sectors.
• I was mainly responsible for writing and enhancing APIs for various ERP systems, including SAP. I developed an API to connect our DMS with SAP via node-rfc, as well as a project with the new SAP Public Cloud and OData REST requests.
• In addition I also developed a microservice that connected customer invoice mailboxes to our DMS by connecting their email server (including Microsoft Office365) and our DMS first via a SOAP API and then ugpraded to a gRPC connection.
• This microservice was developed with .NET 6-8 (regularly upgraded) and used a message broker (RabbitMQ) to queue the mails.
• All our development was done to delpoy it to our own hosted cloud infrastructure with a Kubernetes cluster. We used Flux as our infrastructure as code technology.
• Throughout those years, I used Docker as my primary local development and testing system and created Helm configurations for our cloud deployments.
• Initially, the CI automations were done on Bitbucket Pipelines, but in 2023, we switched to GitHub Actions workflows.
• I was responsible for another apprentice in the last two years of my career stage, in addition to successfully completing the certification process to become an official instructor for apprentices (AdA-Schein).
• In 2024 I became certified in PSM I, PSM II and PSPO I at scrum.org.

• I am now back to developing and maintaining several microservices written in PHP with Laravel or Symfony.
• Our company focuses on food and healthy lifestyles, and we have a great app development team. As a Senior Backend Developer, however, I focus solely on business logic and deployments.
• I have started working with AWS as the main cloud infrastructure and the deployments are done via Terraform - so, again at least two new things to learn! 🥳

• 🏁 Design Patterns and Software architecture (currently looking into the hexagonal architecture
• 🔋 Electric 🚗 - driving a TESLA and currently a KIA EV3
• 💡 Smart home with HomeAssistant, EVCC and upgrading my home with Shelly plugs
• 🌐 I upgraded my local network with UniFi components and improve my knowledge in network, firewall and wifi optimizations
• 🏃 I love to run - attended @ resia lake's race 2013 - time 1h 34min
• 👨‍🍳 I really enjoy cooking a lot and trying new recipes
• 🏡 I feel privileged to live in the countryside, where I have a 🏡 and garden. There is always something to work on in the garden, and I really enjoy it as a relaxing break.
• 📺 Besides binch watching series, I am also a huge fan of the NFL 🏈 (fly Eagles) and sometimes watching other sports NHL 🏒 (go Flyers), NBA 🏀 (go Mavs) or the german Bundesliga (VFB / FCB)

• Everywhere, where I can learn and improve my skills
