About

Who I am

Hey, I’m Florian Krämer

a software engineer and software architect. I’ve started programming in ~2000 and specialized in building web applications, primarily with PHP or whatever I can get my hands on, recently exploring Java and Spring, but loving anything that is object oriented.

Email me at fk@kreative-design.net.

Let’s connect and explore how my skills and knowledge can contribute to the success of your projects.

Achievements

• I’ve been part of the CakePHP core team.
  • Extracted and refactored the authentication & authorization into extensions.
  • Maintained several CakePHP plugins.
• I’ve done a large scale refactoring of a legacy system done by an offshore company with zero test coverage and severe coupling.
• I’ve successfully introduced a CI/CD process in a company.
• Architected the Unified Commerce foundation for Sprykers Commerce OS.
• Implemented a security incident workflow and process in a department.
• Introduced performance and quality metrics.
• Architected a modular system with ports & adapters to enable microservices later on.

How I am

• I’m intrinsically motivated, I love my profession and technology.
• Understanding new businesses and domains is something I like, I’m curious by nature.
• I like to learn new things.
• I’m a clean code & architecture advocate.
• DDD - Domain Driven Design. Communication and processes that ultimately manifests in great code is what I like and believe in without being dogmatic.
• Being an architect is more than technology - teams, people and social interactions are part of the process.
• I like to refactor legacy systems if I get the opportunity to do so.
• SOLID, YAGNI - Concepts that create good code.
• Frameworks are just tools, I’m not dogmatic about them.
• While I’m proficient in PHP, I love to work on c# and Java related projects as well.
• Artificial intelligence 🤖, neural networks - super interesting!
• Inspired by Eric Evans, Martin Fowler, Matthias Noback, Vaughn Vernon, Robert C. Martin and others.
• I’m grateful to anyone who gave and will give me a chance to grow my skills and knowledge. 🙇
