Hi everyone! My name is Christopher, and I am quite excited to join VSHN as a Software Engineer! I have been programming professionally for almost 20 year, and had the chance to apply my craft at several cloud-related companies such as VMware and Canonical in the past.

Hi everyone, my name is Finn. Last year I was in school in Hirschengraben. I learned a little bit of English, maths, and other interesting things. In my spare time I play three to four times a week football, where I meet a lot of friends; I play video games sometimes, too. My goal this year is to learn programming, to get to know as many programming languages as possible, and to understand them. One of my dreams is to have a wife and two children and to hopefully stay in VSHN after my apprenticeship.

This change happens on request of André because he decided to shift the focus back to technical work and day-to-day customer service management and resign from his management role.

Wie die Zeit doch vergeht! Vor bald sechs Jahren haben wir die VSHN gegründet. In der Anfangszeit sassen wir zu acht in einem Grossraumbüro. Entscheidungen konnten rasch und unkompliziert im Team gefällt werden. Die Kehrseite der Medaille war, dass aufgrund der limitierten Personenzahl viele VSHNeers mehrere Rollen innerhalb der Firma einnehmen mussten. Es gab keine dedizierte Stelle, die sich um die Belange der Mitarbeiter kümmerte. Oder eine, die technische Entwicklungen vorantrieb. Dasselbe galt beim Marketing, und nicht nur dort. Wir alle trugen viele Hüte zugleich.

Patrick Mathers, CEO VSHN, im Interview. Moneycab.com: Herr Mathers, bitte erläutern Sie kurz was Ihr Unternehmen macht. Patrick Mathers: Die Digitalisierung macht heute vor keiner Branche mehr halt. Das bedeutet, dass so gut wie alle Unternehmen nun auch gleichzeitig IT-Firmen sein müssen, egal ob es sich hierbei um einen Finanzdienstleister oder einen Detailhändler handelt. Zudem wird die benötigte IT komplexer, schnelllebiger und risikoreicher, weswegen Software kontinuierlich weiterentwickelt werden muss.

Hi, I’m Michel Rios, What did you do for a living before joining VSHN? The last few years I worked as a VoIP Supporter and lately as Technical Service Engineer, primarily troubleshooting VoIP related issues of customers and assisting customers in setting up VoIP solutions.

Hi, I’m Carole Hamer, and I’ve been working in tech startups in France, the US, and Switzerland for about twenty years. Up until now I’ve mostly worked in very small startups (

Ein VSHNeer zu sein bedeutet nicht nur ganz viel Zeit vor dem Rechner zu verbringen, sondern es gibt auch noch den einen oder andere Benefit den wir einheimsen können.

Hallo, ich bin Manuela, und ich unterstütze die VSHN ab Dezember in der Buchhaltung. Während die meisten Leute eher irritiert reagieren wenn ich sage, dass es mir Spass macht in der Buchhaltung zu arbeiten, war für mich schon während meiner kaufmännischen Ausbildung klar, dass dies mein Ziel ist.

Hi, my name is Gabriel and I come from a small country called Moldova. Before joining VSHN I worked as a Software Engineer for a German company.

VSHN goes to Vancouver – Part 1: Currently Daniel, Manuel, and I are working from Vancouver. Therefore I want to tell you a bit about why we are here and then give you a glimpse into life in Canada. VSHN grew a lot since we started. We went from one customer to over 350. With the number of customers, their requirements and the number of managed systems grew as well, and with all of that the amount of work we have to do during the night.

I have been an IT geek for around 20 years, programming open source as a hobby and doing Unix/Linux system admin as a profession. VSHN is an opportunity to fuse my passion with my experience, fueled with the expertise of my team mates. I am starting in the Sirius squad, taking care of operative system and container platform management.
