| very interested in: | mySQL 5.7 mit json-Fields – möchte lernen mongo.db | |
| I have been working with DBs for over 20 years. Starting with dBase, Clipper, MS Access, MS SQL to mySQL for over 10 years. I master complex queries, relationships, pivot tables, PDO and Eloquent etc. I usually work with php myAdmin. | ||
| working environment | PHP Storm, Sublime, Visual Studio, SSH, CLI, Android Studio (new) | |

| Implementation of Paypal, Laravel Braintree and Stripe | ||
| Google-Docs API | Google-Spreadsheet for exporting selected Laravel Language-Folders. With the spreadsheet a translator can work. Import of the Spreadsheet to Laravel, incl. Import into DB-Table. | |
| Google-Translation API | I have been working with this API for several years. The quality of the translations has dramatically improved – but not always perfect. I use the translations of the Google API, save them in spreadsheets and give the user the ability to change the texts manually at any time. For that I have developed some cool UIs. Read more under Projects. | |
| more Google | Google-Analytics, Google-Webmaster, Google-Captcha and more … | |
| more APIs | AWS S3, Dropbox | |
| GIT | my repository | |
| Database Schemes | The creation of database schemas which map the business processes is completely familiar to me as well as the ongoing, necessary adjustments. | |
| Data migration even with different table structures and collations (non utf8) are familiar to me. If necessary, I develop individual scripts with queries to get the desired result. | ||
| CRUD generators | I have worked extensively on various CRUD generators. ( Infyom , QuickAdminPanel, and others) I’ve developed my own advanced CRUD generator.Customization of stub files and Bootstrap4. | |
2. My personal characteristics and concepts |
||
| As a longtime freelancer, I have a high degree of initiative and personal responsibility. I work carefully and have high demands on the quality of my work. New conception and programming of planned web appearances is the norm for me. | ||
| I have a real passion for new trends and technologies. Especially in the environment of Laravel and Javascript. | ||
| I learn daily through online video courses (such as Laracast, Udemy, CodeCourse and many others). I read relevant newsletters daily (eg Laravel News, Nick Basile, Spatie, Vue, Javascript weekly etc.). | ||
| I collect all information from one of my structured knowledge bases (Pearltrees) . This knowledge base serves me to meet every new requirement. This knowledge base is continually being extended and supplemented by me. | ||
| I develop reusable code and modules. I have developed a variety of user interfaces in my projects. Always with smooth animations. | ||
| I’m constantly working on maximizing my apps in terms of speed. Keywords: Caching with Redis, DB optimization etc. | ||
| As a freelancer, I always communicate directly with my clients. These were not IT professionals but entrepreneurs, shopkeepers etc. I am able to translate verbally formulated customer requests directly into the application. The customer relationships last several years, since there were always requests to expand the application. | ||
| personal strengths | • Understanding the entire software development process (analysis, design, implementation, testing, deployment). • self-initiative, resilience, customer orientation, communication. • Proven practical experience in application development. I have designed and developed software, databases and web applications for over 20 years. • Interest in business and financial processes. • Independent analysis and learning of topics. • Permanent independent further education in the field of IT. • I have a commercial and technical education, with experience in finance, personnel and marketing and I think process-oriented. • Graphics & Design experience (Photoshop, Fireworks, xPress). • Communicable with experience in monitoring, training and documentation. • Very good German and English skills (safe in spoken and written). French (basic knowledge). |

3. My priorities of the last years |
||
| Laravel | Development of a backend that serves as a boilerplate for various front-end applications.
Various in-house developments for reusable user interfaces (UI). Building an optimized CRUD. Content Management (Ajax-based). 100% true multilingual, thank bank based, using Google Translations API. Goes well beyond Laravel’s own system of long folders. Any language is possible, any number of languages are possible. Separation of backend and frontend. Development of a sophisticated key / value table with integrated texts and translations. Basis for a multiplicity of user interfaces. Logical switches, color picker, selects and more. This is what configuration wizards and design wizards are made of for any conceivable purpose. Everything with help texts in any languages. |
|
| Javascript | I have worked intensively with EC5 and EC6. I also went deep into Vue. I’m about to replace my jQuery-based functions and modules with Vanilla-JS or Vue.
I’m interested in Vuetify, which offers UI components based on Vue. Just dealing with NUXT. |
|
| CSS | Have learned SASS including compiler. I have Bootstrap 4 integrated into my laravel applications. Have Animate.css integrated. I’m excited about Flex and Grid, which simplifies things a lot in terms of responsive design. | |
| Redis | I’ve learned to implement my own cache mechanisms based on Redis. Have an interesting approach to cache key / value / translations, not only Table / Record based but Table / Record / Field based. | |
| until 2015 | I developed my own shop system over several years and continuously expanded it. Much of what I once developed there I would like to add in a modern way to my Laravel-Boilerplate.
The shop system is still in use. Particularly complex is the backend. Although not up to date, (PHP 5.6) but still fast. Contains many good ideas that I am continuing to develop and is currently migrating to Laravel. |
