Breathing code and outputting software since middle school, from game mods to freelance software gigs at 18. I have shipped production systems in healthcare manufacturing, energy, automotive and e-commerce. Nowadays I draw my motivation from architecting complex systems: designing the data models and APIs, and seeing a system through from first prototype to daily production use.
Experience
Software Engineer
Freelance
- Full-stack web and software engineering for embedded systems, for clients across healthcare, energy, e-commerce, and automotive. Selected engagements below.
Full-stack
2022 – 2023, 2025 – 2026
Production control & shop-floor platform, custom orthopaedics & prosthetics manufacturer (Bavaria)
- Lead engineer for a platform that tracks every unit's progress through the factory live and automates previously manual production scheduling. In daily use as the primary production-control tool.
- Consolidated four legacy source systems (MSSQL cluster) into one live view, via isolated per-database MikroORM contexts over composite-key legacy schemas.
- Built a deterministic scheduling engine of pure functions over batched lookups, recomputed each ingest cycle and unit-tested without a database.
- Configurable table views (column sets, filter trees, persisted layouts) assembling their GraphQL query at runtime, rendered in a virtualised grid with cursor pagination.
- TypeScript end to end: NestJS / GraphQL / MikroORM backend, Vue 3 / Vite SPA, Testcontainers-backed tests, Windows Server deployment.
Embedded
2023 – 2025
Smart-meter edge platform, energy-technology manufacturer (Baden-Württemberg)
- 2.5-year engagement (600+ commits) on the Go service platform of an embedded Linux module that hosts containerized energy apps behind certified smart meter gateways (BSI TR-03109-05, CLS channel).
- Designed and built mutually-authenticated MQTT-over-TLS backend connectivity end to end, with on-device X.509 PKI and certificate lifecycle APIs.
- Added signature verification of firmware and app images to the OTA path and hardened the A/B update state machine and rollback behaviour.
- Consolidated nine services into one multiplexed executable to cut the footprint on the resource-constrained ARM target.
- Introduced automated, SBOM-based CVE screening as a CI stage for the whole platform.
- Go, gRPC, MQTT, PostgreSQL, Yocto, Docker, GitLab CI.
Full-stack
2018 – 2024
E-commerce web software (various retail clients)
