From testing broadcast systems to building cloud platforms and AI-enabled products.
I build cloud-native products on AWS, from backend and data services to the interfaces on top. I like owning the thread from early design and estimates through release, keeping performance, reliability and maintainability in view. Alongside hands-on work, I support engineers through clear standards, thoughtful reviews and mentoring—and help teams use new tools carefully.

Public application
PredictiveEconomics
I kept seeing important headlines and rarely finding out what happened next. PredictiveEconomics grew out of that question.
A public application for following how a world event can travel through trade, supply and consumer prices. It brings together reports on a world map, trade connections and official economic data.
It separates reported facts, measured data and model suggestions—and publishes whether earlier predictions held up.

FinHub
A personal finance project exploring how to bring accounts, holdings and day-to-day money decisions into one place. These early concepts cover an account overview, monthly cash flow and a record of financial decisions.

How the work grew
From embedded systems to cloud platforms
Different scales, same instinct: understand how a system behaves, make it work better, and leave it easier to maintain.
01
2016—2018 · Foundations
Closer to the signal
Embedded programming, optical communications and broadcast performance work gave me a grounding in measurement, automation and the details beneath the interface.
Embedded systems
LPC 2148 and AT89S52 · hardware interfacing, programming and PCB design
Optical communications lab
Bremen · tutoring experiments and supporting fibre-optic measurements
Broadcast systems engineering
Berlin · encoder/server analysis, scripted PSNR and SSIM measurements, FFmpeg
Master’s thesis · broadcasting
Evaluated system performance and developed an encoder-usage prediction algorithm

- Mentors engineers and sets practical standards for reviews and dependable delivery.
The way I like to work
Useful, reliable, human.
I started in Python automation and grew through backend engineering and cloud architecture into technical leadership. Clean systems matter; so does making room for the people building them.
LANGUAGESEnglish · AdvancedGerman · IntermediateFrench · Basic
Backend & data
Python, FastAPI and Flask services; REST integrations and high-volume data pipelines across Lambda, ECS/Fargate, S3, Glue and Redshift.
Product interfaces
React 18 and VueJS, built to make complex services clear and useful for the people who depend on them.
Cloud & delivery
Observable AWS systems, Docker and CI/CD, with Playwright/Selenium automation and performance work to keep releases reliable.
AI in the workflow
Claude Code supports repo-aware refactoring, test generation, review and debugging. Claude Cowork helps with documentation, design notes, estimation and cross-team communication. The aim is shorter feedback loops and more time for hard engineering problems.
Technical leadership
I turn business needs into sound designs, connect engineering with product, data and architecture teams, and establish practical, safe patterns for AI adoption.
