## About

```text
At Siemens, I built reusable React and TypeScript interfaces for industrial alerts, scheduling, AGV controls, and operational workflows. I also refactored SIMOVE Analyzer and integrated it into SIMOVE Fleetmanager.

At hello again GmbH, I owned a 140,000-user migration, implementing APIs and scripts and handling data validation, rollout, monitoring, and incident resolution. I also developed backend features for a SaaS platform serving 400+ branded apps.

I built AI FindMe.Work, a job discovery platform that gathers public postings and ranks roles using bilingual filtering and LLM scoring against reviewed profiles. I developed its React workspace and Python services and deployed it on AWS.

I'm building PlayScenario.ai, an AI-powered story simulation app with structured prompts, hybrid retrieval, evaluations, and streaming. I also built OpenSidebar, a Chrome extension for browser automation, with tracing, checkpoints, and headless execution.
