Stephan Bergmann
Senior Software Developer
“… just around the corner,
take a step back to move forward,
and question everything!”
The most difficult thing about programming is understanding what actually needs to be done.
You then need to find the right words to explain it.”
Aleksandar Mitrev

Aleks loves to develop technical innovations and he is convinced of the benefits of open source software. He is very familiar with the architecture of translate5’s functions and as such is always open to discussing the details with other software developers. His main personal focus is lifelong learning.
Axel Becher
Senior Software Developer
“My passion is making music in a band, which has a lot of similarities with programming in a team: you have to find a clear structure and a voice in the way you express yourself, in order to allow the ensemble to be accurate and meaningful.”
Pavel Perminov
Senior Software Developer
“I believe any task can be solved via different approaches, and the important thing is to choose the right one in every particular case and have a clear view and reasons of why it’s this one and not another.”
Leon Kyz
Senior Software Developer
“I’m a software developer based in Ukraine with over a decade of hands-on experience in the field. With a strong commitment to the art of programming, I’ve honed my skills and expertise over the years, making software development not just a career but also my passion.”
Sasha Mikhliaiev
Senior Software Developer
“Fun of use-case architecture and clean code. Always trying to think ahead and guess what user may like to have as a feature as well as where he can ‘fire his own leg’ :-).
Strongly believe that only team work can lead to best results.”
Sylvia Schumacher
translate5 Key Account
Sylvi may be the newest member of the team, but she brings over a decade of experience in the industry and has known translate5 since its beginnings. As a trained translator, mediating between the worlds of customers, users and developers is exactly her thing.
Volodymyr Kyianenko
Senior Software Developer
We don’t rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training, which is why fighter pilots spend countless hours in training. In software development, the fundamental building blocks are data structures and algorithms which have a huge impact on the longevity and sustainability of software as it evolves.
