As a system engineer, I’m responsible for the technical part of the project business: I support the consultants with questions regarding technical feasibility, implement customer-specific enhancements and communicate information on dependencies and costs to the project. Depending on the technical depth required, I also carry out remote meetings with customers, e. g. to carry out a UCS@School introduction.
To do this, I have to be very familiar with UCS and its customization options without disregarding the customer’s wishes. My tools are screen sessions via SSH, git, Python, and Bash scripts.

A typical working day usually starts with a short consultation with my team colleagues. Then we get down to the technical details: a customer would like to have an additional field automatically configured during the user import, or needs help with the connection services. After clarifying the request / the error pattern, I log on to one of the (test) systems via SSH and get the necessary information. Then I fix the problem or adapt a script. Depending on the stage of the project, I also develop new customized adaptations.
After the acceptance by customers or colleagues, I create a
package and document the changes. In addition, I support my team colleagues with technical questions and sometimes develop concepts and estimates together with customers.
You do learn something new all the time and see the practical use of a powerful combination of several OpenSource components (=UCS). Between systems and scripts, I also always see the people behind them, and I am happy to support them in their challenges.

I am happy to contribute to the further spread of OpenSource software and digital sovereignty. Despite working remotely, I feel well integrated and like the team spirit and the professional exchange among colleagues.
Quite a lot. Since my master’s degree in computer science and a job change, It’s been exciting to see the impact my work has. Also. there are many details in UCS, so you never stop learning new things.
Several things. I like variety. I’m a youth trainer at the local scuba diving club, I go jogging, cycling and when my legs can’t take it anymore, I also play the guitar in my band.
