Full-stack engineer with 5+ years of experience building web platforms, APIs, and backend systems — primarily in startups and small teams. I've led projects end-to-end, making architectural decisions, shipping to production, and scaling systems on cloud infrastructure. Comfortable owning the stack, reviewing code, and giving clear, constructive feedback while delivering business-critical features quickly without compromising maintainability.

Academic Background
B.Sc. — Media Informatics
M.Sc. — Computer Science
[10/2015 – 09/2022]
During my academic career at the University of Ulm I developed deep expertise in software engineering, modern system design, and distributed systems. Moreover, I applied my knowledge in algorithms and data structures, networking, and cybersecurity through hands-on projects and student jobs. These experiences sharpened my problem-solving skills and fostered a strong analytical mindset, while refining my communication skills in technical contexts.
