Hello there, I’m Martin, software architect and developer from the Cologne/Bonn area. Right from the start of my professional career, I decided in favor of .NET and Microsoft technologies and tools and have always incorporated them into my work. With more than 15 years of experience in the field of software architecture and development with .NET, my focus is particularly on increasing the quality and performance of development teams, the interaction of the software solution with the target environment and the actual application down to the last byte.
In my position as Director Consulting Services @ CGI, I act as enterprise architect and developer for cloud native and .NET solutions. I am also a trainer for cloud and software architecture. In addition to my professional life, I am involved in the open source communities and currently provide them with various NuGet packages with different focuses and functionalities.
A strong willingness to learn and develop is also part of my everyday life. This was taken to a new level for me in 2021 after I successfully completed my IHK trainer and my Microsoft certified trainer this year. In addition, I was able to qualify as a trainer for CGI’s Risk and Cost Driven Architecture program in 2022.
How do I best prepare for a Microsoft certification? - this or a similar question is asked by everyone who wants to deal with the topics Microsoft, Azure, Microsoft 365, Power Platform or Dynamics 365. In this article, I would like to go into the possibilities that Microsoft offers us for preparation.
