## About

```text
At YogaEasy GmbH, I developed and maintained Ruby on Rails APIs for web and mobile apps. I also implemented multilingual platform support and protected organic SEO traffic on legacy systems with Cloudflare Workers and edge URL routing.

At New Work SE (XING), I developed interfaces integrating third-party applications and external services, and implemented automated unit and integration tests.

At Deutsches Youth For Understanding Komitee e. V. (YFU), I further developed and maintained the central Ruby on Rails intranet. I established automated test suites with RSpec and Cucumber and contributed to code reviews and agile Scrum processes.

On KitaMatch, my side project, I process Hamburg open-data daycare datasets for AI-powered semantic search using Pinecone and Llama 3. The platform also generates tailored daycare application letters and tracks submitted applications.
