It all kinda started with a computer my dad gave me. No internet back then, but I didn't care! I was totally hooked, taking software apart just to figure out how it worked. That curiosity about making things tick somehow turned into a 5+ year gig building stuff for the web, and honestly, it's pretty awesome.
My sweet spot? Making sure the stuff behind the scenes – the backend – runs like a dream. I love digging into how things work, making them faster, safer, and just... better. It's like solving a giant puzzle, making sure the engine of a website or app is purring perfectly. Getting data organized and flowing smoothly is a big part of that fun.
I've been lucky to jam with some cool teams. At Rexx Systems, we gave some older systems a serious speed boost and squashed a ton of annoying bugs. Oh, and we totally shut down the spam factory by beefing up email security! Lately, over at Impulse Medien GmbH, I've been busy merging different web platforms and playing with AI tools to make our coding lives easier (and faster!).
Yeah, AI is wild! I love figuring out how to use smart tools to automate the boring stuff or come up with new ideas. And I don't mind getting my hands dirty setting up the tech plumbing (you know, Docker, AWS, all that jazz) so that cool ideas actually have a place to live and run without hiccups.
While I geek out on the backend, I can definitely handle the whole shebang, front-to-back. Got a Master's in Statistics too, which sometimes helps untangle tricky problems. Plus, I'm currently battling the German language – wish me luck!
When I'm not glued to a screen, I'm probably messing with my 3D printer, exploring IoT gadgets, snapping photos, cruising around Hamburg on my bike, or trying not to fall off a bouldering wall. It's this mix of techy stuff and real-world fun that keeps things interesting and helps me build things people actually enjoy using. Always up for the next challenge!
