What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities where I can build scalable backend systems while owning delivery, working closely with clients, and translating technical solutions into business value.

I've built scalable RESTful APIs, cloud-based backend systems, and microservices for Management 525k, Nagarro, Safarway, and AXSOS AG.

At Management 525k, I used Java, Spring Boot, AWS, and Elasticsearch to deliver modular systems, refine client requirements, and lead a small team through quality delivery. At Nagarro, I developed enterprise web applications and documented banking web services while working directly with clients.

More recently, I've managed freelance projects from requirement gathering through delivery, presenting technical solutions in business terms and supporting client acquisition. I combine hands-on backend engineering with project coordination, stakeholder communication, and technical sales.
