About Us.

Lukas Eppler

Lukas studied physics - although programming stuff was always important to him. He dabbled in web development right from when it began to be called that, and kept at it since. He collected some first experience of running a company during his studies, just got out before the bubble burst in 2001, and then worked in the industry for a while. There, he acquired solid skills in Java web development and project management. Lukas likes the analytical part of the job, finding the right solution for a problem, and staying creative in approaching complex problems. He's fond of agile software development practices. Merging a modern way of executing a project and the use of Ruby on Rails as a modern technology allows Simplificator to produce cool web applications which can do more in less time with better quality.

Pascal Betz

As soon as he got his BS in software engineering he started as a Java programmer for web and desktop applications. He worked in different companies and different industries and had fantastic job titles such as 'Senior Software Architect', 'Software Developer' and 'Software Engineer'. After some weeks in India's IT capital Bangalore, where he tried to get a messed up IT project back on track, he co-founded Simplificator GmbH and lived happily ever after.

On warm (sun)days you can find him out in the nature trying to improve his climbing skills.

Nico Ritsche

Nico studied Computational Visualistics in Magdeburg, Germany - a relatively new study course based on traditional computer science with a strong focus on computer graphics. After spending some time at Imagination Technologies in the UK, where he created new high performance graphics algorithms for 3D graphics chips, he decided to start freelancing as a web developer. The idea to make websites came up when he helped out a friend with his site, stumbling over the great web application framework Ruby on Rails. Currently, he is teaming up with the simplificators, coworking on several projects.
