Software Developer
“What I enjoy most about programming is that it's always about solving problems.”
Michael Schrepfer
Who are you and what are you responsible for?
I am Michael and a Software Developer at illucIT. I originally come from the district of Hof, a small village near Naila. I came to illucIT because I was looking for a job for my master thesis in the field of Machine Learning in Würzburg. I’m a full-stack developer and responsible for Java, Scala or JavaScript development.
What is your professional background?
After I went to school, I did my Bachelors degree in computer science at the University of Applied Science in Hof. Since my girlfriend at that time wanted to study in Würzburg and I also wanted to do my master’s degree in information systems I originally moved to Würzburg. Afterwards I started looking for a company for my master thesis. That´s how I got to illucIT and I´m here ever since. I have always been interested in computers, have been playing computer games and was responsible for all kind of IT related stuff in my family. This is how I realized computer science might be a good fit. While my studies I discovered my passion for programming.
What do you enjoy most about your work?
What I love the most is figuring out problems and developing solutions for them. I like development in general but I prefer backend over frontend. Besides that, I like exchanging knowledge with my colleagues.
