Our project manager introduces himself

“The work and the team at Softway AG are characterized by a relaxed atmosphere and flat hierarchies. Everyone knows everyone, which creates a family atmosphere.”

1. When did you start working at Softway AG & how did you come to Softway AG?

I have been working for Softway AG since 2012. At the time, I was looking for an SAP service provider in the Hirschaid area that could perfectly complement my professional interests and skills. During my research, I came across Softway AG and was immediately impressed by their products and the tasks. The decision was therefore easy for me and I am very happy to have taken this step.

2. Which training path did you take?

I completed almost two years of retraining, which lasted from 2012 to 2014. This retraining enabled me to expand my professional skills and prepare myself for the demands of the IT sector, particularly in the SAP area.

3. What do I need to bring with me if I want to work as an IT specialist in application development?

To be successful as an IT specialist in application development, you should have the motivation for continuous further training, as there is no standing still in IT. In addition, abstract and logical thinking and an understanding of business processes are important. These skills help to solve complex problems and develop efficient software solutions.

2. This or that?

5. What fascinates you about your job?

As an SAP developer, what fascinates me most is the variety. Every day brings new challenges where I can ponder requirements and develop the best solution. This constant demand keeps the job exciting and challenging. It is particularly fulfilling to solve difficult problems and to feel the joy of the results achieved at the end of the day. In addition, you are always learning new things, which makes the job dynamic and interesting.

6 Let’s travel back in time: What did you always want to be when you were younger?

Phew, to be honest, I didn’t have a fixed dream job. I just let a lot of things in my life come to me. I didn’t have a specific career goal in mind – apart from maybe becoming a professional footballer, but that was more of a joke of course.

7. What does a typical working day look like for you? What tasks are you responsible for?

As a project manager and developer, I take care of the organization of projects, which provides daily variety. My tasks include budgeting, documentation, coordination, capacity planning and checking and creating orders. In addition to these organizational tasks, I am also actively involved in project development. I particularly enjoy integrating myself into the internal product development at Softway, especially our SAP add-on SSP Forms, and helping to develop it.

8. How do you deal with a stressful day at work? What helps you relax after work?

After a stressful day at work, I find relaxation by spending time with my family and friends. Physical exercise such as gardening, woodwork or sport also helps me to switch off and recharge my batteries.

9. How would you describe the work & the team at Softway AG? What characterizes Softway AG?

The work and the team at Softway AG are characterized by a relaxed atmosphere and flat hierarchies. Everyone knows everyone else, which creates a family atmosphere. We have nice colleagues who make the working environment very pleasant. Softway AG is also characterized by flexible working options, whether working from home or in the office.

10. we would also like to know more about you in your private life. What do you particularly enjoy doing in your free time? Do you have any “special” hobbies?

In my free time, I like to play basketball and go jogging, even if these hobbies are a bit neglected at the moment due to building a house. I also enjoy playing community games and spending time with friends, for example at barbecues.
