Senior software engineer with 15 years of experience designing and shipping cloud-native systems for enterprises and startups across web development, microservices, distributed architectures, simulation, and machine learning. I work across the full stack — from Terraform-managed AWS and Azure infrastructure to TypeScript front-ends — and I'm equally comfortable owning a greenfield product end-to-end or integrating into a large engineering organization. I care about clean architecture, knowledge sharing, and staying close to the edge of what's technically possible.

Core stack: Golang · TypeScript · Python · Java · AWS · Azure · Terraform · Next.js · Angular · Microservices · Event Sourcing · Serverless · DevOps

Selected Projects
  1. Bayer AG — EMEA Sales Support Platform. Built and operated a Next.js application on AWS ECS with full end-to-end ownership of development and production operations, including Datadog observability. Stack: TypeScript, Python, Golang, Terraform.
  2. Bayer AG — magicscout.app & Group-Wide Data Mesh. Designed a serverless AWS architecture and an event-sourcing / data-mesh setup adopted across the group. Stack: Golang, Python, TypeScript, Terraform.
  3. Mercedes-Benz (MIC/MBOS) — Supplier Software Testing Platform. Developed an Azure-based microservice architecture to automate and orchestrate testing of supplier software. Stack: Golang, TypeScript, Java, Terraform.
  4. Smart Energy Storage Startup — Cloud-Native Prototype. Built a prototypical cloud-native environment for a smart energy storage product. Stack: Golang, Angular, C++.
  5. Stock Market Indicator Simulation. Self-funded Golang simulation for analyzing market indicators.
  6. Multi-Agent System with DQN Solver. Implemented a reinforcement-learning showcase based on DeepMind's DQN paper (Nature, 2015). Hand-built a TypeScript neural-network library (~180 test cases) and a companion library to bootstrap the RL solver — no external ML frameworks.
Other Highlights
  1. Technical co-reviewer of the German translation of Refactoring, 2nd Edition by Martin Fowler.
  2. Master's thesis at Volkswagen Group's DataLab (Munich): a one-year study on the impact of artificial intelligence on organizations.
  3. Co-founder of an early-stage web-marketplace startup in Portugal (project currently suspended).
  4. Research Assistant (6 years) at the Institute of Computational Modeling and Simulation, teaching programming fundamentals (logic, UML, OOP), algorithms and data structures, computational modeling, and advanced C++ OOP.
Education
M.Sc. Industrial Engineering and Management — Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany.
