Torben Haack

At Mercedes-Benz's Digital Factory Campus in Berlin, I serve as an IT specialist, contributing across software engineering, quality assurance, and data engineering. This role allows me to integrate diverse technological disciplines to drive innovation and efficiency within the organization.

I build software guided by a clear philosophy: identify the right problems, solve them effectively, and avoid unnecessary complexity. My minimalist approach ensures I deliver exactly what's needed, then continuously refine and enhance it. I rely on proven, stable technologies—tools that offer predictability, reliability, and efficiency. While innovation is valuable, I prioritize trustworthiness and durability in my solutions. Simple, clear code isn't just better; it's essential. I emphasize readability, maintainability, and reliability above all else. Principles like KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) and DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) are fundamental to my practice, forming the bedrock of scalable and maintainable systems. If it isn't clear, concise, and trustworthy, the work isn't finished.
