What I'm looking for

Remote senior role in Vue, React, Node.js or Go. Looking for ownership and autonomy — engineers trusted to ship without constant oversight. Small to mid-size product teams preferred. Clean code, testing, and real impact matter to me. Employment contract only, based in Germany, no sponsorship needed. Available June 2026.

I am a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with over 10 years of professional experience building production web applications across e-commerce, media, fintech, and Web3.

My core stack is Vue 2/3, Nuxt, React, Next.js on the frontend and Node.js with NestJS and Express on the backend. I also have hands-on experience with Go microservices and gRPC, PHP with Laravel, TypeScript across the full stack, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, and Docker.

At Kaufland I built BFF microservices in NestJS, migrated a large Nuxt 2 platform to Vue 3 with SSR, set up Datadog observability across services, and introduced Playwright E2E testing. At POLITICO I worked on a high-traffic news platform, led a Vue 2 to Vue 3 migration, and built a Next.js SSR application with internal React tools. At Micobo I spent three years on a blockchain-based stock tokenization platform — wallet integrations with MetaMask and ethers.js, smart contracts, and a full Vue component library.

I contributed to GitLab's open-source codebase and was named MVP of the GitLab 16.11 release for an upstream contribution to their Rails and Vue codebase.

I use Claude Code and Copilot as a real part of my daily workflow — automated code reviews, test generation, faster iteration. Not as an experiment.

I am based in Koblenz, Germany. I hold a §18b AufenthG residence permit — no visa sponsorship required, employment contract only. Open to fully remote roles worldwide or hybrid in the Koblenz/Cologne/Bonn area.
