This year we officially turn 20. What a journey so far! 20 years full of code, passion and countless memories – and Jens has always been there.

He has been with us almost from the very beginning. Jens joined us when we were still in our early days: four founders, one vision and the research project “Systematic ECU test” at the Technical University of Dresden – that was our start in 2004. Shortly afterwards, he joined us as a computer science student, and since then he has not only been part of our success story, but has also played a major role in writing it.

In two decades, Jens has experienced everything: from the first courageous steps as a start-up to the development of our products and the big and small moments that life holds. He got married, had two children, celebrated countless summer and Christmas parties with us and was always there – as a colleague, friend and team player. Today, Jens is involved in the further development of trace.check as a software developer and is taking trace analysis to the next level with his team.

20 years – that's a time in which both sides repeatedly work on themselves, develop and still grow together. Jens, thank you for staying with us for so long! We look forward to continuing to work with you (until you retire 😉).

And the best thing is: Jens is not an exception! In the upcoming years, more and more colleagues will be celebrating their 10th or even 20th anniversary – and we are delighted to have so many of you at our side for the long term. This shows that mutual trust and a great team can make anything possible.
