🧑‍🎨 Software Artist

As a passionate Software Artist (aka Senior Software Engineer) who always looks beyond the horizon, I see software development as an art form where every piece of code tells a story and every architecture reflects a creative vision.

My approach as a Software Artist goes beyond just writing code – I strive to craft software to the highest standards, which is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly.

Through my extensive experience in developing complex applications and my ability to translate technical ideas into innovative solutions, I have learned that successful software development is more than just solving technical problems. It's about understanding the needs of users, finding creative solutions, and creating a product that excites and inspires people.

My passion for software development drives me to constantly seek new challenges and to continuously evolve. As a Software Artist, I aim to design products that enhance the lives of users. My goal is to design software and architecture that are not only technically robust but also understandable and valuable to the entire team. I believe that well-thought-out software architecture is the foundation for successful collaboration and product development, and I am committed to realizing this vision in every project.

Additionally, I have comprehensive experience in the following software methodologies, which I actively integrate into my work:

• Test Driven Development (TDD)
• Agile methods (Scrum, Kanban)
• Domain Driven Design (DDD)
• Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD)
• Clean Code

🦸‍ More…

As an experienced Software Engineer, Trainer, and Mentor, I bring not only technical expertise but also a passion for teamwork, continuous learning, and personal development. My professional career has been characterized by collaborating in interdisciplinary teams and developing innovative solutions for complex problems.

As a Remote Worker, I am accustomed to working effectively and independently while maintaining communication with my team members. I value the diversity and opportunities that the digital workspace offers and actively strive to create a positive and supportive work environment.

In addition to my work as a Software Artist, I am involved in the open-source community and am always looking for new opportunities to share my knowledge and inspire others. My long-term vision is to make a sustainable contribution to the development of innovative technologies while bringing together people from diverse backgrounds.

fastlaneinactions's Issues

Use default names for environment-variables

The fastlane doc provides a list of environment-variables-to-set.

I think it makes sense to use this „official" naming inside the workflow- and fastlane files instead of using self defined names.

Use push_to_git_remote instead of bash-commands

To push changes back to the repository (from the workflow) I'm using some bash-commands and string-scripting-things instead of fastlane's push_to_git_remote

As you can see…

fastlaneInActions/fastlane/Fastfile

Lines 18 to 22 in f4a42b3

	repository_uri = sh("git remote show origin | awk 'NR==2{print $3}' | sed 's/git@//g' | sed 's#https://##g'", log: false)
	push_uri = "https://x-access-token:#{options[:token]}@#{repository_uri.chomp}.git"
	branches = "HEAD:#{options[:git_branch_name]}"
	sh("git push #{push_uri} #{branches} --tags", log: false)

I am…

• Parsing the url to the repository
• Create a url to the remote origin (with GITHUB_TOKEN)
• Figure out the current branch
• Calling a shell-command to do the "real" push

I'm not figured out the correct setup for push_to_git_remote currently to set the correct branch and (re)use GITHUB_TOKEN with this Fastlane action. It results all the time in something like fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': Device not configured or access denied.

Figure out the correct setup and use push_to_git_remote, please.

Setup a GitHub-Action to run Fastlane

Setup a fastlane workflow to build the App for iOS

Setup a React-Native-App

Init/Setup a React-Native-App which runs on iOS and Android in the latest version of RN (currently v0.61.1)

Bring more structure to documentation

• Describe things simpler
• Reorder the structure to put the main points in the foreground
• Correct spelling

Setup a fastlane workflow to ship the App

• Test a fastlane workflow to ship the App
• Describe this workflow only

Update workflows to macOS-Catalina before 3rd December

GitHub Actions has deprecated the macOS-10.14 virtual environment. Workflows will instead use macOS-10.15 until December 3rd, when workflow files must be updated to continue to run.

All macOS jobs, including any that use the line runs-on: macOS-10.14, are running on Catalina (v10.15). On December 3rd, any workflows with jobs that still include the line runs-on: macOS-10.14 will fail to run and return a failed check suite.

Please update workflows in those repositories and change the line runs-on: macOS-10.14 to runs-on: macOS-latest.
