Hey, I’m Florian Krämer

a software engineer and certified software architect. I started programming around 2000 and specialized in building web applications—primarily with PHP, or whatever I can get my hands on. I’m transitioning to C# and love anything object-oriented.

Achievements

  • I’ve been part of the CakePHP core team.
    • Extracted and refactored the authentication & authorization into extensions.
    • Maintained several CakePHP plugins.
    • Reviewed and advised many CakePHP-based projects as part of the Cake Development Corporation.
  • I completed a large-scale refactoring of a legacy system built by an offshore company with zero test coverage and severe coupling for one of the most popular building architecture websites.
  • I’ve successfully introduced a CI/CD process in a company.

How I am

  • I’m intrinsically motivated, I love my profession, architecture 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 manifest in great code are 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, Dave Farley and others.
  • I’m grateful to anyone who gave and will give me a chance to grow my skills and knowledge. 🙇
