My name is Uwe Schaefer, but as you probably already know who i am, i´ll keep it short. I used to live in Mülheim Ruhr, Germany where i was permanently employed at image-transfer GmbH for about 8 years, in the position of Lead Developer/Architect. What i did there was maintaining a homegrown Content Management System d4cms and working on (soon to be open-sourced) x4technology framework, as well as client driven software development projects.

Sept, 2007 i moved to Freiburg im Breisgau in order to work for THOMAS DAILY GmbH as tech lead. Amongst my current responsibilities are refactoring and optimizing a multi-tiered enterprise information system, creating new projects on top of JavaEE-related technologies, as well as consolidating the internal IT infrastructure.
