About

👨‍💻 Process-oriented software engineer with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and hands-on experience as a full-stack developer. I work across the stack, from scalable backends built with Laravel and RESTful APIs to modern frontends using Vue.js and TypeScript. 🏗️ At Leineweber GmbH, I replaced a proprietary order management system with an internal platform, significantly reducing licensing costs. I also introduced CI/CD pipelines with automated testing and deployments, which shortened release cycles and improved stability. 🧪 I focus on clean, maintainable systems. I design backend architectures, improve code quality through test automation and code reviews, and mentor junior developers in clean code, software architecture, and agile workflows. 🧠 Currently expanding my skill set with a focus on Artificial Intelligence and AI agents. I’m especially interested in practical applications that solve real-world problems. 🤝 Always open to knowledge exchange, networking, and new challenges in software engineering.
