After his IT studies at ETH Zürich, Norwin joined SIX as a Cloud Software Engineer. In parallel to his work, he actively supports the Powercoders Program, a coding academy for migrants, as a teacher.
What does your job involve?
As a Cloud Software Engineer, I bridge the gap between cutting-edge technologies and the requirements of running an application securely in a highly regulated environment.
Together with my teammates, I manage and operate multiple development environments in the form of platforms as a service (PaaS) in both private and public cloud. We provide a stable and highly scalable infrastructure to run our applications and to provide our services.
I also advise application development teams on how to develop and run a new service in the cloud.
What do you like best about your job?
I love to creatively solve complex problems with the use of technology. The technical requirements for operating the Swiss financial market infrastructure are very interesting and exciting. It fulfills me to build a part of this infrastructure. Additionally, I like the innovational spirit as well as the freedoms at SIX. It is the perfect setting to develop my skills further and apply the theoretical concept that I learned during my studies.
What makes you proud?
I taught migrants and refugees the fundamentals of cloud computing for the Swiss organization Powercoders. It was very gratifying to make a positive impact on people’s lives. I am proud that SIX backed this amazing project and supported me in preparing and teaching this workshop. The knowledge that I have shared in this workshop I acquired at SIX over the past years.
