What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities where I can build and test reliable software, automation, and backend processes while continuing to grow my Python and German-language skills.

I've built and maintained business process automation at Arthur D. Little GmbH, using OutSystems, SQL, Microsoft PowerApps, and Azure AD. I developed a document generator, supported automation from process design through deployment, trained employees, and resolved post-release issues.

I've also delivered software and testing work across banking, mobile apps, games, and enterprise systems. My background includes Python, C, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, XML, XSLT, XPath, REST APIs, functional testing, exploratory testing, and German-language upskilling to B2.
