PerrySoft IT-Systems & Consulting GmbH & Co.KG, Hamburg, Germany (Jun 2002 – Jul 2004)

Profile

PerrySoft is a small company concentrating on application development and consulting especially in Java based software solutions.

My Activities

As I began to work for Perrysoft, sometime in summer 2002, I was an expert in Visual Basic and in web programming, but novice in Java. PerrySoft developed a project for Lufthansa Technik AG, that should became a J2EE application with JSP frontend. That was the best possiblity for me to try some lightweight Java. Boris did the backend programming of the application and let me design and implement the JSP frontend. This application was my first productive application written in Java. As time passed I was familarized with a framework written by PerrySoft collegues, that serves as a basic plattform for application written by the company for Lufthansa Technik AG.

c.a.r.u.s. Information Technology AG (May 1999 – Aug 2001)

From May 1999 until August 2001 I was employed at the c.a.r.u.s. IT AG. In that time c.a.r.u.s. was a medium-sized business company, employing about 150 people. The core competences of the company were software development in retail, health and telco areas, as well as distribution of IBM soft- and hardware.
I began to work in c.a.r.u.s. as a student assistant and became a developer in later 1999. I developed in Visual Basic 6 some business applications. The boast of my development was an internal telecomunication application, that allowed the desk office to email the information of accepted phone calls to people, that have been called but were not availiable. It was a tricky client-server application connected to the in-house PBX with its server-part. The client-server interaction was implemented using COM+ technology. The client used functionality deployed on the MTS Server.
Sometime in 2003 I called my project team leader in c.a.r.u.s. but didn’t catch him on his place. Then I was suprised about the fact, that the front desk lady were asking me about the reason of my call and so on – information to be filled in those fields I put on the application window three years earlier…
