In which area of Bundesdruckerei do you work?

I work in innovation where I focus on digital solutions.

How did you end up in IT and what professional experience do you have?

I am a trained IT specialist in application development. I also trained as a certified IT forensic scientist and system administrator and completed training in IT baseline protection according to BSI specifications.

What are your main tasks and what exciting projects are you currently working on?

My main tasks include planning and setting up new server infrastructures for big data analysis. I am also testing neural networks as a basis for future topics in artificial intelligence. In other words, we are helping to develop the future. We also work on solutions to make Germany’s public authorities smarter. The Online Access Act is currently one of the most exciting issues here since this act requires public authorities to provide online services nationwide beginning 2022. The systems used by Germany’s 16 federal states and the federal government will then have to work together. This is a mammoth task, which naturally requires extensive preparatory work, new concepts and systems.

What do you find motivating about your work at Bundesdruckerei?

At Bundesdruckerei, I don’t work according to standards, instead I am able to work with new technologies time and again. We research, test, evaluate and always think outside the box. This allows us to work on topics which at first glance might not appear to have much to do with Bundesdruckerei.

What do you particularly enjoy at Bundesdruckerei?

I really enjoy working on the future and trying out many things. It’s a great feeling when we then see that our solutions really work and continue to help customers. What’s more, freely configurable, flexible working hours at Bundesdruckerei make it easy to achieve a good work-life balance. This flexibility, the opportunity for further professional development and the contribution we make with our work are what make Bundesdruckerei so special to me.
