Husam joined the company on October 1, 2021, as an intern in software development. Thanks to his quick learning curve, Husam quickly settled into the team and his responsibilities.
Husam describes himself as a curious person. He has a keen interest in different cultures, history, and languages. Thanks to this interest, Husam is fluent in three languages: Arabic, English, and German, and is currently learning Kurdish. To balance his daily life as a working student, he enjoys playing soccer. Husam recently completed his bachelor’s degree in medical technology and has been supporting the SUSI&James team as a full-time software developer since December 1, 2022.
He first learned about SUSI&James through a job posting on LinkedIn. He was an intern with us in software development and, at the same time, was writing his bachelor’s thesis on “Interacting with a graph database using natural language.”
During the first few weeks, Husam was assisted by, among others, our colleague Jan actively supported. During this time, he gained his first insights into database systems, APIs, and software architecture. “As part of the internship, I also learned the basics of front-end development and helped the team integrate services and develop user interfaces.”
One of Husam’s daily tasks is writing his bachelor’s thesis. To do this, he first gathers all the necessary information and compiles it so that, after consulting with the team, he can also conduct his own tests. Husam used the results for his bachelor’s thesis and analyzed them.
“Through my work, I want to gain a deeper understanding of the interaction between people and machines.”
In addition, it deploys graph databases that our developers have created for digital twins as part of a publicly funded project H2SkaProMo are required.
As part of this work, Husam also handles software development and implements database operations and access. In addition, he develops tools for visualizing and configuring the graphs and their elements in the database. This requires a great deal of patience on Husam’s part, as dependencies on data from different projects occasionally cause problems that then need to be resolved.
However, his willingness to learn and quick grasp of new concepts serve him well here, enabling him to tackle obstacles head-on and consistently overcome them. Husam is excited to be working on a project focused on the visualization and management of graph databases. He sees this project as involving a very steep learning curve, both for himself and for the entire team.
We’d like to thank Husam for the interview and are thrilled to have him on the team!
