I started in 2011 with an apprenticeship as an application developer at encoway and stayed there until 2020, latterly as lead developer. Since August 2020 I have been at Fincon Reply.
The work is full stack: web applications and their integration into systems that are already there. On top of that come architecture, the analysis of functional and technical requirements, and coordinating the development — and, for some years now, showing others the ropes: team members, developers on the client side, apprentices.
Full-stack development of web applications for insurance. Alongside that, planning and building integrations into existing systems, and coordinating the development within the team.
Planning, drawing up and implementing IT architectures, and before that the analysis of functional and technical requirements. Alongside that, work on the software development process and showing developers the ropes — in my own team and at the client.
Development in client projects: configuration and quotation systems, document generation, integration into the systems already running there.
Two and a half years of dual training, at the company and at vocational school. The final project standardised the data structure for the document generation component.
Without client names: the industry says what it was about, and the rest is not mine to give away.
A new module for rating, quotation and application in motor insurance, connected to the policy administration system. The interface is built from Vue.js components and is configurable; the REST endpoints to the policy system sit underneath.
Replacing a web shop. I designed the architecture, including the migration paths for the existing data, introduced new software development processes and agile methods, and coordinated the developers.
A configuration platform and its integration into the surrounding systems. Alongside that, process consulting, coordinating the development, and workshops on clean code, unit testing and software development.
Configuration and quotation systems — configure, price, quote — with document generation. I got the developers on the client side to the point where they build their documents themselves. GWT, Java, Freemarker.
A microservice architecture on Docker, and an elaborate continuous integration infrastructure to go with it. The work was done in mixed teams of our own developers and the client's.
Alongside the employment I am one of three in a software collective. What we do there is on the collective's own site — it is not repeated here.

This list names what turned up in these projects. How much of it fell to which one is not part of it — a list cannot hold that honestly.
