🇩🇪 Based in Berlin, Germany · 🌍 Open to opportunities across Germany & Europe
I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 16+ years of professional experience building scalable, secure, and cloud-native software across backend systems, web applications, APIs, distributed systems, and DevOps.
My core expertise is in TypeScript/Node.js, NestJS, Python, Java, AWS, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, Docker, and CI/CD, with a strong focus on clean architecture, automated testing, security, and maintainable software.
More recently, I’ve been incorporating AI-assisted development workflows into software engineering to improve development speed, code quality, testing, and productivity.
