About Me
My fascination with programming developed at a young age and remains a deeply rooted passion that drives me to this day. For me, it's much more than just a profession - it's a continuous, stimulating challenge that significantly shapes my professional development. I now focus my expertise on the dynamic areas of DevOps and backend development, where I strategically apply my analytical skills and technical know-how to create efficient and stable systems.
- Strong focus on Security by Design in all phases of system development
- Pragmatic and analytical approach to solving complex technical challenges
- Establishment and optimization of productive remote work structures and cultures
- Motivated by the freedom to adapt working hours to project requirements and personal peak performance phases to achieve optimal results
My Approach
My approach combines thoughtful backend architecture with agile DevOps methodologies to optimize the entire lifecycle of applications - from conception through implementation to stable operation. I place the highest value on systems that excel through excellent code quality, inherent scalability, compelling performance, and robust high availability, whose integrity is proactively secured through comprehensive monitoring and precise alerting.
Code Base & Maintainability
I create sustainable software solutions through code quality, comprehensive test automation, and clear, well-documented architectures as the foundation for future developments
Performance & Scalability
Designing systems from the ground up for optimal response times and efficient resource utilization, structuring them to flexibly grow with increasing requirements
Proactive Operational Stability & High Availability
Ensuring maximum system availability and resilience through redundant architectures, continuous monitoring, meaningful alerting, and fast response mechanisms to disruptions
Automation & Continuous Optimization
Maximizing efficiency and reliability through consistent automation of recurring processes and continuous improvement of systems based on metrics and feedback
Outside of Work
Even away from the keyboard, I seek and find valuable balance, for example in activities with my dogs, which give me new energy and perspectives. I use this balance to stay technologically current with an alert mind: I continuously engage with great curiosity in new developments and methods, and work passionately to deepen my expertise in my core areas of DevOps and backend.
