Dortmund's software scene and its insurance roots

Dortmund has a strong tech cluster around the TechnologiePark and the insurance sector (Signal Iduna, Volkswohl Bund, and neighbours). For software work in that environment, it's important to integrate with legacy systems respectfully rather than replacing them, and to fit new features into existing release and compliance flows.

In Dortmund I typically work with product teams embedding modern features into long-standing platforms. Travel time from Bochum is twenty minutes — on-site days and hybrid work are straightforward.

Testimonials

„There aren’t many true full-stack developers. Fewer still can take on deeply complex problems and genuinely solve them. Nils is both, and more. He brings technical depth, clarity of thought, and a calm, reliable presence to every project. A highly respected and recommended addition to any team. And when he’s not coding, he’s out training for triathlons; a true embodiment of work hard, code hard, play hard. On all fronts, Nils is a machine.“

„At objego, I worked with Nils in different teams and phases of the company - from greenfield features to legacy migrations. What always impressed me was how quickly he could slot into new setups and immediately start contributing real value. He brings a strong mix of technical depth, calm communication, and the flexibility to adapt to changing requirements. You always felt in good hands when Nils was involved.“

„Nils war einer der ersten, die unser Produkt technisch mit aufgebaut hat. Mit seiner strukturierten Arbeitsweise, Flexibilität und klaren Kommunikation hat er maßgeblich dazu beigetragen, dass wir schnell vom Konzept zur funktionierenden Lösung kamen. Besonders wertvoll war seine Fähigkeit, Unklarheiten in Anforderung proaktiv und kreativ zu lösen und ein gutes Auge für UI.“
