Hi. I am Stefan. I like to build stuff. Welcome to my place where I express my thoughts, mishaps and insights on anything tech related. I started working as professional Software Engineer in 2013. My experience includes designing and developing new software from scratch to boost business processes as well as maintenance and modernization of legacy systems. The companies I worked at range from multi-media enterprises to insurance companies, consulting firms and major banks.
Those projects include mobile telephone number portability, online customer portals for consumers and financial advisers, live monitoring of the Eurovision Song Contest and core banking systems. I like the idea that most my code runs to this day.
In my private time, I keep honing my craft by educating myself about newest technology with private projects. Often those new experiences find their way into my professional work.

Over the last decade I encountered many problems as Software Engineer and I think some of them might be worth sharing.
One can easily be overwhelmed with how many solutions there are today for solving problems and how those solutions cause other problems that need to be solved. For every solution there was a problem and for every problem there are thousands of solutions. Some solutions even wait for a problem.
So, what exactly is a Tohuwabohu?
Borrowed from Biblical Hebrew תוהו ובוהו, from תֹהוּ (tóhu, “nothingness, void”) + בֹּהוּ (bóhu, “emptiness, desolation”).
— https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Tohuwabohu
In German, it roughly translates to chaos, more specifically Tohuwabohu describes a reality ruled by chaos. I think that term is a perfect fit for how stuff works.
This blog was created mainly out of boredom and mainly serves as knowledge base for myself. If you can profit from that, that’s great!
