What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a remote role around €24,000 gross per year.

I am a reliable, detail-oriented developer with long-term experience building and maintaining automated, data-driven systems—primarily on MetaTrader 4 using MQL4 and Python. I have developed and maintained over 100 Expert Advisors and indicators, built a Python-based AI-assisted code generator, and created workflows for broker-report processing and tax documentation.

Currently studying business administration with a finance focus, I combine technical system development with practical knowledge of financial reporting and compliance. I thrive on structured problem-solving, performance analysis across platforms, and long-term, responsible ownership of complex technical projects.

Ok now real talk: I’m in Germany and planning a move to Guatemala before the German parliament declares a state of emergency, which will result in massive restrictions on personal freedoms. That is why my location is set to Guatemala.
I’ll keep building MQL4 algorithms for income, but I also need stability—so I’m seeking a remote role around €24,000 gross per year. You can imagine how motivated I am—haha. I speak German, Spanish and English fluently.
