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 robotics-oriented research projects.

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

Long term, I'm building depth in DevOps, security, financial software, architecture, and crypto systems while continuing to ship useful software now.

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

current direction

devops

CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, observability, and production operations.

security

Secure architecture patterns, tooling, and defensive engineering habits.

fintech

Financial software, data workflows, and market-oriented tooling.

crypto

Blockchain and smart-contract ecosystems as a long-term track.

Experience

WHB - Full Stack / DevOps Engineer

University of Siegen, Germany

April 2024 - present

Develop and maintain university web platforms on the MEVN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, Vue.js, Node.js) while supporting containerized deployments and internal tooling. The work includes backend migration and reorganization, MongoDB data-model optimization, Docker-based deployment workflows, Linux administration, and Ansible automation.

highlights

  • • mevn backend migration + service reorganization for cleaner delivery
  • • mongodb schema and query-path optimization for performance and maintainability
  • • docker compose up -d for reproducible local and staging environments
  • • ansible playbooks for repeatable provisioning and environment setup
  • • git branch strategy + merge requests + code review workflows
  • • gitlab-ci pipelines for lint, test, build, and deployment gates
  • • linux-first operations: logs, process checks, and service troubleshooting
  • • independent python security tooling for scanning network components
