About

Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience, primarily in C++ but also working with other languages, developing customer-specific solutions and interfaces within enterprise software systems. As technical contact for international clients, I gathered requirements, designed tailored solutions, and ensured reliable delivery. I coordinated small development teams, continuously supported the Team Lead in planning and organisation, and acted as their deputy when needed. I also took on mentoring tasks and supported the onboarding of new engineers. Expertise centered on C++, SQL, and Git, while also working with Python, C, various other languages, Jenkins, and Docker (in development workflows). Strong abilities in technical specification, documentation, and troubleshooting complement my technical profile.
