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.”

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.”
