Manuel Vogel Consulting company information, Employees & Contact Information

I have a real commitment to Software Quality, always strive for high conceptual quality, high test coverage and I am always researching an easier, faster way to deliver software that meets business requirements with minimal technical debt. I love to get people around me motivated to improve their skills and knowledge, leading by example. The solutions I build are reusable and use well-known patterns that other teams can reuse. I am what some call a multiplier. For me, a programming language, framework, or any technology is just the tool to solve a problem, and, as an engineer, my goal is to figure out how to solve it correctly, pragmatically, and concisely. What makes me different is that I find the right tool for the right problem, and if I'm not familiar with it yet, I'll learn it. It does not always have to be a full-blown structure with, for example, Domain-Driven-Design and Command-Query-Responsibility-Segregation, but also small, modular and of course testable. Tests come first for me, as a working CI/CD pipeline does for building, linting, testing, and deploying. Commit messages I prefer in the conventional form, so it's easy to generate a changelog, and the code is semver compatible. Another benefit is that the commits stay small, and the messages are precise. While I love building solutions, I also love it the same way to run and operate them and also create the infrastructure around it. Docker and Kubernetes are my preferred container and orchestration technologies, which I like to set up on immutable infrastructure on cloud providers like AWS with a pipeline and tool like terraform. I treat every piece of software with the same diligence, whether it's a CLI application, a backend service, or an internal UI. I don't only speak Dev, Ops but also have a view on costs, love talking about my work, but also give back to the Open Source community.
