The documentation will not write itself. Christian Heitzmann tells us why it is crucial to write good documentation in high-quality software engineering.
Good day Christian. Thank you for taking part in our interview format. Would you mind giving a brief overview of your career journey - how did you get started in tech, and what were the milestones that guided you to become the owner of SimplexaCode AG?
Sure. My career has always followed two tracks. One track is, of course, software development, which began with hobby projects at school during the 90s. Later, I earned my Master of Science in Computational Science and Engineering from ETH Zurich.
The other track is teaching. A few years after my degree, I started missing university, so I went back to earn Teaching Diplomas in both Computer Science and Mathematics. During that time, I started teaching algorithms and software development at universities of applied sciences, as well as mathematics at public schools. That’s where I also discovered my passion for academic writing.
After doing that for about a decade, I thought: Hey, why not combine these three skills and offer these specific services through my own SimplexaCode AG? Today, I work as a software developer, technical writer, and trainer. Through my company, I mainly offer various services related to software documentation and training in Java and Python technologies.
