eMotivo GmbH

Web Developer

Continuing my work at eMotivo GmbH, I oversaw and executed projects ranging from small CMS-based websites to large-scale business applications with thousands of users. My responsibilities included guiding and supervising a project from its planning phase through implementation to the final handover to the client, as well as providing ongoing support for past projects.

For larger-scale business applications, I made significant contributions to the development of an in-house PHP framework and CMS. This framework served as the foundation for many large-scale projects we completed at the company over the past years, including a comprehensive customer relationship and inventory management system for real estate rental management.

We also provided clients with web shops, where I was responsible for designing and implementing APIs to interface with various inventory management systems and collaborating with external service providers.

My role also involved maintaining, refactoring, and rewriting legacy projects for clients.

Additionally, I was responsible for maintaining the internal Microsoft Windows-based test environment, the internal Linux-based test environment, as well as the Linux-based hosting environment for clients.

Furthermore, I developed numerous websites using various contemporary content management systems based on clients' needs and preferences, primarily using Typo3 and WordPress.

eMotivo GmbH is an agency that provides design, web, and IT solutions to clients. During my apprenticeship, I was involved in developing web applications, websites, and web shops, working closely with both clients and the in-house design team.

Languages


PHP

PHP has been a very flexible solution for almost every problem I have encountered in my professional career so far, and I have been using it every day for the past eight years. Both modern frameworks and completely in-house solutions have provided excellent ways to meet clients' needs. Its flexibility has made it a good choice for realizing both small websites and larger web applications.


HTML5 / CSS3 / SASS

Part of my responsibilities at work involved creating responsive websites and user interfaces using HTML5 and CSS3.


Go

Go has offered me a great combination of a systems language capable of good performance and a fast, slim way to solve both system-side and web-based problems. For private projects, it has now entirely replaced Python and other scripting languages because of its straightforward syntax and clear idiomatic approach.
