Hi, my name is Simon and I am a 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 Development, Quality and very much enjoy giving workshops on Pairing, Teaming 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.
For getting an additional view of my professional activity, have a look at my LinkedIn profile.
