What I'm looking for

Ich suche eine Rolle, in der ich IT-Security, Software- und Cloud-Engineering zusammenführen kann, in einem technisch anspruchsvollen, kollaborativen Umfeld mit Fokus auf sichere, zuverlässige Systeme.

Ich bin Informatikstudent mit Schwerpunkt IT-Security und Software Engineering und bringe praktischen Erfahrungsschatz in Embedded Systems, verteilten Systemen, Cloud-Infrastruktur und Softwareentwicklung mit.

Ich habe ein Auslandssemester an der Kettering University (MI, USA) absolviert, mit Fokus auf Mikrocomputing und Penetration Testing, sowie solide Kenntnisse in Mikrocontroller-Programmierung und Echtzeitsystemen erworben.

Zu meinen Projekten zählt die Entwicklung eines verteilten Dokumentenmanagement-Systems (Java, Docker, RabbitMQ, ElasticSearch) mit REST-API, OCR, automatischer Zusammenfassungs-Generierung (GenAI), sowie Implementierung von Unit- und Integrationstests und CI/CD-Pipelines auf GitLab und AWS.

Ich strebe danach, effiziente, zuverlässige und sichere Softwarelösungen für technische und industrielle Umgebungen zu entwickeln und arbeite gerne interdisziplinär an Sicherheitsthemen, DevOps-Integrationen und Embedded-Lösungen.
