My name is Niels and I’ve been working as a consultant at synvert for several years now. As a trained mathematician with a focus on probability theory, I first came across synvert during the “Math and Info offer perspectives” event at the Department of Mathematics in Münster. Even during my studies, it was clear to me that I wanted to pursue a career in consulting. The reference projects presented by synvert at the event convinced me that IT consulting offered an exciting entry into the professional world.
After a brief onboarding period in data management and cloud architectures, I was able to contribute to initial projects and gain experience as a consultant. In my first project, I developed a framework for an insurance company in the cloud, which automatically analyzed PDF files, images, and tables for key data such as geographic coordinates and stored them in a GIS system. This was the starting point of my career, and since then, I’ve gained experience in the clouds of Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, with modern technologies like Snowflake and emerging methods like Process Mining.
As might be evident from the previous section, the work in IT consulting and at synvert is always a bit “different”: No project is exactly the same as the previous one, but in each project, you get to learn exciting and novel technologies and carry that experience into the next ones. This results in an incredibly steep learning curve – not just in terms of pure knowledge, but also in soft skills such as communication and presenting results.
synvert meets my expectations of an employer that I had during my education: The projects are incredibly exciting, working in a team is enjoyable, the colleagues are friendly and helpful, there are opportunities for both professional and personal growth and – perhaps most importantly – there is always a great deal of trust and respect given.
