Hanna
Let’s start at the roots—how long have you been part of the NBRX journey?
Alex
I’ve been here since the very beginning, starting back in 2020.
Hanna
Six years and counting! So what are your responsibilities at NBRX?
Alex
Currently, I’m focused on developing Java software for the Energy Manager project.
Hanna
What is your working language, and how long have you been speaking it?
Alex
It’s a mix of German and English. I picked up German when I moved here around 2016, so I’ve been navigating that for a decade now. English goes way back—I started learning it in school in 2004, which blows my mind because that’s nearly 22 years ago!
Hanna
Oh wow… 2004? That’s literally the year I was born. Moving swiftly on before we both feel older! Let’s talk tech stack. Which tools can you absolutely not live without? Which tools are indispensable for your work?
Alex
I’m a bit of a minimalist when it comes to my daily drivers. Give me my Windows desktop, VS Code for writing clean code, and Git Extensions to manage our repositories without tearing my hair out.
Hanna
Do you prefer working from home or in the office?
Alex
I am firmly on Team Remote. Don't get me wrong, the occasional drive to the office is a nice change of pace and it’s great to see Samuel in person. But honestly? I feel more productive, focused, and significantly less exhausted at the end of the day when I'm working from my home setup.

Es gibt News im Büro? Dann weiß Hanna schon Bescheid. Und wenn sie nicht Bescheid weiß, dann gibt es auch keine News. Hanna entscheidet dann, ob es einen Blogartikel auf der Website dazu geben soll, oder ob das doch nur ein Thema für den Gruppenchat ist.
