My name is Christian Schlueter. I have a MSc. in Distributed Systems and am working as Software Development Technical Lead in Calgary, AB, Canada.
During my studies of Business Computing (German Diploma (Dipl. Wirt.-Inf. (FH)) and Distributed Systems (MSc.) I focused a lot on Software Development and Software Project Management. I went abroad for exchange semesters to Namibia and to Canada – where I am now happily stuck in Calgary (read: near the mountains).
In my professional career I worked in several software related roles including Software Developer, Custom Application Development, Project Lead, Team Lead and Technical Lead - ask me for my full resume!
My job and free-time projects keep me digitally busy. In the analog world I enjoy the outdoors, climbing and exploring new cultures and countries. I speak German and English.
I'm looking for: - New challenges in Calgary's IT world - Volunteering (social, educational, or start up-related) - IT-related meetups and talks in Calgary - Learning about your cool tech project.
I strive to be the Go-To-Person for any technical question and task. Here's how:
I take responsibility and ownership beyond my immediate task and look at the big picture. I effectively communicate with all parties involved and become a SME that can be engaged by anyone at any time.
Having knowledge in a variety of software, database and cloud products, I can understand, build, test, and troubleshoot applications from frontend to backend, and handle most complex issues in-depth.
I enjoy building and leading highly functional software teams by providing mentorship, training, and encouraging everyone to go the extra kilometer (pardon, that must be the German in me).
All this allowed me to build up a proven track record of successfully delivering complex and high-risk projects on time and budget.
