I'm Maria,

a full-stack software developer with a history of working in the financial services and online advertising industry and a Master's degree focused in Informatics

I am currently working as a software developer in a SCRUM team responsible for digitalizing a lending process for business customers at one of the most renovated German banks. My team is developing an in-house cloud hosted application using mostly Vue.js and Java.
In the past few years I have worked mostly with dockerized application written in Node.js, Vue.js, Ruby on Rails and Elixir on AWS infrastructure.

I have also gathered experience in large enterprise projects while working as technical consultant in the area of customer communication services, as well as a development consultant for SAP projects creating custom tailored web based user portals.

Having worked for various companies with international teams have shown me a crucial importance of open and proactive communication for the successful completion of a project. In addition to technical knowledge, I consider myself to be a skilled communicator and collaborator. I enjoy working closely with clients and team members to understand their needs and to develop custom solutions that meet their unique requirements, especially incorporating principles of Lean UX.

Challanges

Learn Figma basics

As a web developer I am very passionate about the collaboration with UX colleagues - building an application, I can not emphasize enough the difference between personal taste and researched based UX guidelines. Also, I strongly advocate for a proper use of tooling and a single source of truth approach. That is why I wanted to challenge myself to learn some Figma basics - as this is the current UX/UI tool of choice. more details
