About 🎙

Hi, my name is Simon and I am a highly motivated Software Development Engineer in Test and iOS Developer. I’ve been working in the software industry for 18+ years and can combine that with substantial knowledge and learnings in Development, Testing and Project Management.

I am very enthusiastic about Test Automation, TDD, BDD, iOS and Android Development, Quality, Pairing, Ensembling as a Team, and very much enjoy giving workshops on Pairing (Pair Programming) and Version Control with Git.

I’m good at talking to people on all levels and I’m a good listener and tacit observer. I constantly push myself forward by diving deep into unknown topics, doing experiments in my spare time, and pushing them onto GitHub. I am a happy human being who is able to fit myself into every new challenge and situation where constant learning, experimenting, innovation, a healthy team culture, and having fun as a team, are appreciated, supported, and welcome.
