Jeff Retz

Hey 👋🏻
I am Jeff, a qualified Software Developer from 🇩🇪 Germany and combine a 3 year dual apprenticeship with over three years of professional experience.
Currently I balance university studies with self-employment, specializing in the Kotlin ecosystem, particularly in the Mulitplatform context and actively contribute to open source projects.

Web Development#

My career began in Web Development using the Zend Framework (now Laminas) and Laravel.
During this time, I designed and built tools like customer and contract management for well-known brands.

Product Line Engineering#

Later I transitioned to the leading comapny for Product Line Engineering as an Admin and IT Operations specialist for the pure::variants team.
Responsibilities included maintaining and eventually reworking a Java WebService used to manage Virtual Machines for product showcases, integrations and customer playgrounds.
