To find out more about me just have a look here: https://simonscholz.github.ioFor all the others 😉I love open source and to share my knowledge.Besides that I've started to develop my first website at the age of twelve and have been computer addicted even earlier.This fascination for computers and technologies remains until today.If you're passionate about something you're usually also good at doing it...And one of the best things of being a developer is that you can craft code to automate things you're not passionate about.Automatization over manual work is kind of my credo and I've already pushed a lot of customers in that direction for the better. 😉Currently I work as a senior software engineer at MediaMarktSaturn.I am leading the team, which is reponsible for calculating delivery times, giving delivery promises, doing reservations of products and implementing the rules on how to determine a proper outlet/warehouse as source for the products to deliver.The applications, which serve this purpose are realized with Spring Boot and Quarkus and written in Kotlin. For more insights on the tech stack I am usually using you can also check out my tech part in the CV or the tutorials section.I also have the honor to be competency lead of the team with the goal to offer great opportunities for my team members to evolve.Before being with MediaMarktSaturn I've been working for the vogella GmbH, an open source company founded by the Java Champion Lars Vogel. While being with vogella I gave a lot of trainings for a large variety of companies all over the world, but mainly in germany.Besides trainings we offered remote and onsite support for the technologies we taught during our trainings. In order to deliver high quality bleeding edge knowledge for the customers, we were also heavily involved in contributing to the Open Source technologies that we taught during our trainings, e.g., Eclipse 4 RCP, Testing, Spring Boot, build tools (Gradle + Maven) to name a few.One core value of the vogella company is "acquire and distribute knowledge", which I'd still love to do. During that time I've done a couple of talks and workshops on Hackathons, Eclipse Demo Camps, Java User Groups, EclipseCon, Jax, Java Forum Stuttgart and Devoxx.I'd also publish a lot of tutorials on vogella.com and wrote articles in different magazines like Eclipse Magazine and the Java Magazine.
