I am a Berlin-based Typescript full-stack software engineer. Dabbling in python.
I am passionate about coding teamwork and collaboration, as well as listening deeply to users and improving people's lives.
Code
python
javascript
typescript
I enjoy working in fullstack Javascript, ideally Typescript. Expanding into python.
Cloud
lambda
cloudformation
k8s
aws
I started in AWS land and was intrigued by serverless patterns. I then worked with GCP and Kubernetes. I run towards yaml files.
Back-end
postgres
fastify
nest
node
I have set up scaleable APIs in Node using express, nest, fastify and different types of persistence.
Testing
playwright
testing-library
jest
cypress
I value confidence in code via robust e2e, integration, and unit testing. Tests are always the first thing I read in a new project/repo.
Front-end
emotion
next
react
React/React Native fan. Worked extensively with Next the last few years. Enjoyed styling with tailwind, Emotion, css-in-js and Material UI.
Analytics/Monitoring
splunk
grafana
amplitude
datadog
Good decisions start with clear measurement and monitoring, which is a qualitative and quantitative process. I enjoy this from both an operational and product perspective.
