About

about me

I'm a full-stack engineer focused on practical products with strong fundamentals. My work spans web development, applied AI, immersive applications, and systems-level engineering.

I build with React, Next.js, Python, Node.js, and cloud tooling. I also use C, C++, C#, Rust, and Unity when the work calls for more performance, simulation, or interactive systems.

Long term, I'm building depth in DevOps, security, privacy-preserving systems, and AI-assisted tooling while continuing to ship useful software now.

I care about systems that are well structured, maintainable, and easy to evolve over time.

Experience

Former Full-Stack & DevOps Engineer

University of Siegen (ZIMT), Siegen, Germany

April 2024 - May 2026

Developed and maintained MEVN-stack university platforms used by roughly 500 people, while restructuring backend services, improving MongoDB schemas, and owning containerized delivery workflows.

highlights

  • • restructured backend services and MongoDB schemas to reduce query latency by about 40%
  • • built Python-based real-time network monitoring for anomaly detection across 8+ microservices
  • • designed GitLab CI/CD and Ansible workflows that cut deployment time by roughly 60%
  • • operated Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift production services with 99.5%+ uptime
  • • worked in a cross-functional team and maintained a 95%+ sprint goal completion rate
