Background

About

About

My name is Carmelo Scollo and I was born in Nürtingen (Germany) as the son of Italian immigrants, where I grew up bilingually. After graduating from the Gymnasium Plochingen in 2007, I studied Business Informatics at the Verwaltungs- und Wirtschafts-Akademie Stuttgart and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in September 2010. I focus on back end development using Kotlin, Spring Boot, GraphQL and jOOQ. I am also able to develop front ends, both as native apps and as web apps using React. With my CI/CD skills, I take care of my software from design to development, production deployment and runtime monitoring. I enjoy learning new things, sharing my knowledge and enthusiasm, and trying to live the idea that technology should not dominate our lives, but make them easier.

Work Experience

Work Experience

  • Software Engineer, itdesign GmbH

    Apr, 2019 - Present4 years 8 months

    In April 2019 I became part of itdesign's software engineering team for their very own PPM solution Meisterplan. The product is based on the lean PPM method and used as SaaS by customers worldwide. It is build completely inhouse, based on a time proven core and continuously enhanced by the adoption of the latest technology. As a back end developer and devops expert I develop and refactor the monolithic core to enable new features and adopt cloud native principles to build and ship the product on a daily basis.

  • DevOps Specialist, Daimler AG

    Jan, 2016 - Mar, 20193 years 3 months

    Starting 2016 I joined Daimler AG's R&D department, more specifically the subject area Connected Car. Here I was part of the Customer Frontends team, that is responsible for the Mercedes Me App, until September 2018. My area of responsibility included leading back end development and operations, the continuous enablement of CI/CD best practices and building up monitoring capabilities for our back end services running inside our Pivotal Cloud Foundry environment. Doing this, I coordinated the interactions between Daimler AG, our partners and several suppliers.
    Since October 2018 I am part of an effort to set a new foundation for Connected Car back ends on top of Kubernetes and Azure. For this I implement and operate an adapter for required third party systems based on Spring Reactor.

    • From May to August 2018 I was given the opportunity in the course of an in-house software development initiative to develop an app based on existing APIs in a 4-person team on our own terms. In order to master this challenge with only 4 people I learned the framework Flutter which helped us to develop an MVP for iOS and Android at the same time.

  • Senior IT Consultant, IBM Deutschland GmbH

    Oct, 2010 - Dec, 20155 years 3 months

    My work activities included the development of and advice on input management systems in the German insurance industry. Moreover, I had a strong focus on integrating the IBM Insurance Servhice Hub (ISH) into existing customer environments, on the development of mobile apps and adviced customers on the integration of mobile services. I both designed and implemented input management workflows. I also designed and implemented customer-specific input management modules and OCR data validation rules.

    • From mid-2013 until the end of 2014 I developed the ISH RechnungsApp for Android, which enables the direct digital submission of medical bills, an innovation topic in the German insurance market that is used by several insurance companies in Germany today.

  • Research Assistant, University of Tübingen - Institute of Geosciences

    May, 2014 - May, 2015

    I worked 20 hours per month on this project leading a team of 3 people. Our goal was to implement a web application, which provides access to data of the Water - Earth System Science (WESS) measurement stations located in the Ammertal near Tübingen without requiring knowledge of SQL or direct access to the database. Together we developed a full stack JavaScript application with AngularJS for the front end and Node.js for the back end, which can query the data and visualize it in graphs.
