Experience
Senior Software Engineer
2023/06 - presentMicrosoft
Always up for a new challenge, I decided to join Microsoft. There, I found completely new challenges — working not only with a completely new tech stack but also as part of a newly formed team within Microsoft itself! The work in the IDNA/Security division is challenging but also exciting. No two days are alike, and I keep learning more and more. Initially, I worked on the "What's New" information service in Entra, but the team later transitioned to focusing on services such as password resets and much more.
Technical Lead - API
2021/12 - 2023/05TitanHQ
After the success of the initial phase of the rewriting of the first projects I've transitioned to a more general role. Here I was able to oversee the general architecture of the APIs and their (micro)service layout, guiding the path for future developments of a general SaaS platform. Still being involved with the Frontend development to some degree, this role helped me to perfectly combine Front- and Backend development to create an overall solution together with a highly skilled and qualified team.
Senior Software Engineer
2020/12 - 2021/11TitanHQ
Diving into the world of Cyber Security, I could use my knowledge of Laravel & Vue.js to move the software to the next level. Building on top of a matured and stable environment the refactoring of the APIs and re-implementation of major parts of the products was one of the main goals. Supporting this refactoring by unit tests helped to create a stable and future proof implementation. The developed architecture patterns can and will be used across multiple products as well to get a general cloud based solution that scales with it's needs.
Senior Software Engineer
2019/12 - 2020/11EssentialSkillz
Supporting a solid and matured environment on a PHP/AWS basis, I can contribute to the modernisation of the infrastructure by applying best practices in the world of microservices. With Laravel for the Backend and Vue.js for the Frontend, a new and fully cloud native servicemap is being created while still keeping the high quality standards up that the current platform has. By extending the current environment with various tests (Unit & Selenium) we're prepared for the future as well.
Senior Application Developer
2019/07 - 2019/11Supply Chain Formulae
Mostly working with PHP and AWS, my skill set could be extended with a deeper dive into the Symfony framework. I've contributed to the modernisation, restructuring and reworking of the applications but could also assist in changing internal workflows, so that a modern style of software developing could be achieved.
Team Leader Frontend Technologies
2018/03 - 2019/07InterNetX GmbH
By the experience gained in the last years with modern web technologies I was assigned to lead the development of the redesign of one of the biggest platforms the company has. Still being responsible for the projects I've successfully supervised before, the complete rewrite of a stable yet aged frontend was started. Using the modern technologies stack I became familiar with over the last years (Laravel + Vue.js, Docker + Kubernetes) this challenging new project was started and is progressing rapidly towards a new experience for all - developer just like end user.
Senior Software Engineer
2015/10 - 2018/03InterNetX GmbH
Based on the latest web technologies (e.g. Laravel, Vue.js) my focus was set on a stable yet fully automated environment (Docker/Kubernetes + GitLab) with a good basis for everybody on the team to work with. New technologies are always welcome as long as everybody can learn them fast enough to get a real benefit out of it in a short time. Apart from the frontend I've also created multiple APIs (NodeJS) for various projects that don't fit the normal scheme.
Senior Web Developer
2013/07 - 2015/09HalloWelt! GmbH
The team developed a framework tailored to the needs of business customers based on the famous MediaWiki software. One part of the job was working closely with the customers to define and then implement their special needs for the software. The other part was the development of the core framework always looking out for stability and good usability. Planning and maintaining the releases was also my responsibility.
Apprenticeship
2010/08 - 2013/07HalloWelt! GmbH
I've started to learn all about the handicraft of software development here. Having a good basis is always important, so I've learned the most important things for a good and long lasting project. Having all of the IT before me (from soft- to hardware to networking) I could get a nice overview of the world of IT, always finding new ways to learn and to build up the knowledge I now have.
