Junior Magento Developer
Team23 GmbH, Augsburg, Germany
Worked as a Junior Magento Developer for the Team23 GmbH, Augsburg, Germany. I was working on various projects for their clients like Vitalia, Scheppach, no7, and more. This was my first enterprise-level programming job. Although my time there was only 1.5 years, it was the most educational programming role I've ever had. Jumping from WordPress to Magento, without much theoretical background in OOP, was challenging—the abstraction levels and multiple styles in Symfony and Zend were a lot to take in at once. Nonetheless, the learning outcome in proper workflows and programming concepts was so great that since then, I haven't stopped coding and building custom web apps!
