Z CALC enables the precise calculation of customized artificial lenses for direct insertion into the eyes of patients, so-called intraocular lenses. The program is as complex as the human eye and is continuously being developed. A Herculean task. "The first time was already very challenging, as Z Calc had been delayed when I first came on board. However, the team and I met the project goals within three weeks." You can see how proud he is about this.
Instead of writing program code himself, Nicolas now aligns developers, designers, product managers as well as clinical, regulatory, quality and service specialists with the common cause, and defines and supervises project goals and steps. This also requires all of management to agree to it. "Preferably, I will have clear goals, guidelines, and deadlines that I can implement with my team on my own initiative. To this end I make decisions and also take the fall for colleagues, but that goes with being a team leader." Responsibility requires broad shoulders.
