HI, I'M MISCHA HOLZ!

When I started working as a professional software engineer, I started with focussing on the entire software architecture stack at my job at 4fb, helping to develop the PHP based CMS CONTENIDO.

Implementing new features in HTML, JavaScript, PHP and MySQL has taught me a lot about how the web and the different technologies work together.

Early at Acomodeo the development team consisted of 3 people and we had to develop a lot of features very rapidly while also building a robust infrastructure for future business endeavours. During that time I fell in love with Kotlin and Spring, both of which I now use a lot for backend work.

While the team grew it also became increasingly clear, that we had to grow into different roles, which meant for me that I started doing a lot more backend work (without losing sight of the end user of course).

Nowadays the development team at Acomodeo consists of 9 people. Having been there from pretty much the beginning I'm now responsible for keeping track of how our diverse micro service infrastructure is working together and how it can be expanded to cover more and more features.

This means designing and implementing large distributed systems using our existing software libraries and making sure it is all working together.

Everything is changing constantly in the world of software development. That's why I make sure to stay updated on current and future libraries, languages and methodologies.
