What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth.

As a Senior Fullstack Software Engineer, I have a strong foundation in both backend and frontend technologies, with extensive experience in Java, Kotlin, and Scala. My journey has led me to work on diverse projects, including the migration of legacy systems to modern architectures, where I successfully integrated various microservices and external APIs. My recent certification as a Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) underscores my commitment to staying at the forefront of technology.

Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to delivering high-quality software solutions. At Spendit AG, I designed and maintained multiple microservices that improved operational efficiency and user experience. My ability to adapt to new technologies, such as transitioning from Akka to Pekko, has been instrumental in driving project success. I thrive in collaborative environments and embrace methodologies like Scrum and TDD to ensure that my work aligns with best practices and delivers value to users.
