I build AI-driven backend platforms, data pipelines, and API integrations for high-traffic products.
What I'm looking for
At GIATA / Die 101 Besten, I build AI-driven backend services for large-scale hotel and destination content, using LLM APIs for classification, enrichment, and generation. I also design Python ETL pipelines, REST APIs, and data normalisation workflows that bring heterogeneous supplier feeds into consistent schemas.
Over 14 years, I've delivered backend systems for Allianz, PAQATO, UMCH, and consumer platforms across logistics, telehealth, e-commerce, education, and travel technology. I work across Python, Node.js, PHP, SQL, cloud infrastructure, and third-party integrations, while driving architecture, code review, releases, and engineering standards.
