Question 1
What fascinates you about software development?
Answer
For me, software development is the art of logical thinking. Everything makes sense, and mistakes are your responsibility.
Question 2
Why did you choose EPS Academy?
Answer
After completing my secondary education and military service, I began my studies at ETH Zurich. However, I found the programme too academically oriented and lacking in practical relevance.
Through an acquaintance of my mother’s, I learned about EPS Academy and the internship opportunities it offered.
Question 3
What is your role at the academy?
Answer
During my one-year internship at EPS, I worked on the Atlassian apps and was able to complete my first customer project. I was responsible for everything from the initial idea to implementation and had to consider how to approach the project, what technologies were needed and how I could implement it. I learned a lot in the process. Whenever I had questions, a working student was there to advise me.
Today, I am a working student and, alongside my studies, I work 50% of the time at EPS Academy as a Technical Lead Cloud. This means that I am responsible for the code quality of our products, make technical decisions, supervise interns and independently develop app concepts. I have a lot of responsibility, which I really enjoy.
Question 4
What do you particularly like about the academy?
Answer
The EPS Academy offers me the perfect balance between theory and practice. I can apply and expand my knowledge directly, which is a great advantage for my professional development.
Question 5
A glimpse into your professional future?
Answer
I see my future in application development, particularly in the front-end area with technologies such as React and TypeScript.
I also really enjoy my work as a trainer. I would like to continue doing that in the future.

Question 1
Why EPS Academy?
Answer
For me, the decision was clear: the location played a role, but it was mainly the young team that attracted me. The academy currently employs 14 interns and students. The atmosphere is simply great.
Not only do we get on well at work, we also often spend our free time together. Whether it’s online gaming or board games, we have a lot of fun together.
Question 2
What are your responsibilities?
Answer
The most exciting project I worked on at EPS Academy was PTC (Page Tree Creator)/Datacenter. I developed features and fixed bugs, all using the agile Scrum method.
It was challenging, but also incredibly interesting. I also love working independently and taking on responsibility. I am learning a tremendous amount, which is preparing me perfectly for the future.
Question 3
What fascinates you about computer science/software development?
Answer
It’s just incredible: you can build anything you can imagine – be it games, websites or even complex applications.
That’s also what drives and motivates me to study computer science later on.
