About me
The Full Story
I came to engineering through finance — four and a half years at a garment manufacturer, most recently as Assistant Accountant handling production, sales, and cost reporting. Alongside that, I've been building web applications since April 2021, and today I work across the entire stack — from pixel-perfect frontends in React and Next.js to backend APIs with Node.js and NestJS, backed by PostgreSQL and MongoDB.
I've built multilingual e-commerce platforms for medical equipment suppliers, shipped a React Native radio app from scratch, and run production deployments on AWS, VPS, and Linux servers — comfortable with CI/CD, Docker, and Cloudflare infrastructure.
I've been admitted to the M.Sc. European Economic Studies at Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg for the 2026/27 winter semester — where my finance background meets everything I've learned shipping software. When I'm not writing code, I'm managing my self-hosted server at home or contributing to open-source projects.
I'm currently available for freelance and contract opportunities.
