Creative and driven to find solutions
Gao Megan, IT Software Development Engineer, has been working at DRÄXLMAIER Asia Pacific since 2018
What are your responsibilities at DRÄXLMAIER?
Since 2018, I have been part of the IT department at DRÄXLMAIER Asia Pacific, working as a software developer for SIB Carlines. My role involves not only developing software but also contributing to the design of applications and modules. My responsibilities include programming and testing, implementing security features, developing machine interfaces, and managing technical projects.
What do you enjoy most about your work?
I love the creative side of programming. To me, it's like working on a construction project – every function, every module, every algorithm is a building block that comes together to form a fully functioning system. When the code runs and the product is complete, it’s an incredibly satisfying feeling.
At the same time, I like the challenges that come with development. Analyzing problems and finding solutions is something I truly enjoy – and every issue I solve gives me a real sense of accomplishment. This drive to grow and keep learning is what keeps me motivated.
Do you have any hobbies, passions, or talents you would like to share?
I have two major passions: gardening and cooking. Both help me unwind and recharge.
What has been the most valuable experience during your time at DRÄXLMAIER?
My time at DRÄXLMAIER – especially in the IT department in Asia – has been incredibly formative. Our team is creative and works together exceptionally well. I’ve learned how important teamwork, initiative, and clear thinking are – especially when it comes to finding solutions. I’ve also come to understand how crucial it is to be customer-focused and to pay attention to quality and detail. For me, team spirit is the foundation of our success.
How do you see your professional development at DRÄXLMAIER?
Over the past seven years, I’ve had many opportunities to grow – from technical training to English courses. These experiences have not only supported my career but also enriched my personal development.
