Java.Solomonli.com was always a dream of mine to implement, meaning, I always wanted to create a website from scratch. Starting at the age of 11, I mucked around with Basic. My university studies built upon my childhood activities, which led to my first job using Jade. Dissatisfied with my life in general, I left these things behind me:

My Uncle advised me to delve into Java and presented with the opportunity at Mercedes or back then Daimler Chrysler, I began my Java journey.

I've been with Java now since 1999. I started out with JDK 1.16 and EJB 1.0 using IBM WebSphere as the application server. Since then it has always been Java, Java and more Java. Over the years I always had big dreams of building a website from scratch, including the middleware without paying for a single license. But, like many things, big plans often lead to no results. This time I've utilised docker containers combining nginx, keycloak, spring boot 3 and angular 20 with server side rendering.

As a teaser, I whipped up a first draft introduction video Please take a look:

Consulting

I have been consulting, developing and assisting projects since 1998. Coupled with my experiences as a sales assistant in health food retail and serving customers in a café from the age of 12, I am well grounded in working in all kinds of environments. I enjoy working on conceptions, maintenance, application design and development. Testing including creating test cases, defining test data, performing load tests, analysis, installing test environments and developing integration tests. Through this, my project work has taken me through many different branches including:

In other areas, I have also coordinated teams in PR work with politicians, media, advertisements and VIPs, handled event management and worked on design and layout for flyers, posters and advertisements. My CV (Lebenslauf) is also available in Xing, Gulp and Linked-In.
