Erza Mehmeti: How long have you been with KYBURZ?

Fabio Mathis: Since 1 May 2018

Erza: How did you hear about us?

Fabio: Through a job advertisement.

Erza: What did you do before KYBURZ?

Fabio: After my studies in systems engineering, I developed the hardware and software for various products at an engineering office. These included a measuring device used in dentistry and a radar distance measuring device that measures filling levels.

Erza: What are your activities?

Fabio: At the moment, I am mainly involved in software development. On the one hand, I write the firmware that controls everything on the new vehicle electronics. On the other hand, I work on the application that runs on the PC and is used to configure and update our vehicles and to carry out error diagnostics.

Erza: What are your strengths?

Fabio: I am proactive and can avoid problems. If any do occur, I have the patience to solve them.

Erza: What motivates you?

Fabio: To improve a product that I find useful.  Specifically, for example, to make the DXP more robust and user-friendly. I also enjoy passing on knowledge.

Erza: What is your typical daily routine?

Fabio: It varies a lot. Besides writing code, a lot of my working time is spent on testing. I also work out the requirements and create a concept depending on the scope. At the moment, I'm also training my two new colleagues.

Erza: What do you like to do in your spare time?

Fabio: When I'm not working for KYBURZ, I can usually be found in the garden. I grow and preserve vegetables to feed my wife and me throughout the year. I also try to close cycles by, for example, obtaining the seeds for next year's seedlings myself.
In winter, I enjoy snow sports; I am currently discovering touring skiing.
I also like to do handicrafts, for example I have converted a van into a camper van, which can be rented via the platform "MyCamper".

Erza: What are your plans for the future?

Fabio: I am looking for a small, affordable house with a large piece of land on which I can plant a garden in the long term. Since this is not easy, I would be grateful for any tips...
