Martin Helmich

Head of Architecture & Developer Relations at mittwald

To me, the project felt like a true collaboration on equal footing between codecentric and mittwald. I particularly appreciated the direct exchange between developers, in which we worked together to arrive at a solution strategy that best met the client’s requirements. But I found the discussions that went beyond the specific project – such as those regarding the product’s developer experience and general best practices – just as valuable.

Dominik Fladung

IT Consultant

Together with our partners, clients, and colleagues, we develop innovative, customized software solutions and promote the overall empowerment of teams and organizations. Our goal is to create real added value, rather than simply selling our services. We are open to new technologies and use the tools at our disposal in a targeted manner. Is AI helpful? Yes! Is it absolutely necessary for every solution? No! At codecentric in Bielefeld, I enjoy the freedom to work independently, learn, and actively participate in shaping our projects.
