Message

At Hypofriend GmbH, I developed and maintained the company’s CRM and public web applications. I also worked on adapting a system built for mortgage leads to handle pension plan subscriptions and investment properties.

I prototyped a property-search notification system to update users about newly available properties via Telegram. My work there included Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, and Vue.js.

Previously, I served as Technical lead on a wealth-sector rescue project at Imaginary Cloud and developed web applications for remote customers. Across other roles, I developed QoS applications, maintained iOS apps, and built web applications for clients including PT Comunicações (Altice/PT) and the Portuguese National Agency of Public Purchases.
