Full-stack developer and AI team lead at KeyHub, maintaining a Rails and Nuxt key-management app with agent-led development.

Germany
Message

At KeyHub, I maintain and develop a production key-management application with digital handovers, built with Ruby on Rails and Nuxt. I lead an AI agent team and retain responsibility for architecture and final approval of AI-generated code.

For SYNLAB Suisse AG, I built a medical appointment-booking MVP using Rails, Nuxt, PostgreSQL, and a PWA frontend. I integrated payment processing and GDT exports, and the platform served 50+ locations at the time, processing 500,000+ appointments with 99.8% uptime through the pandemic.

I've also built products including Smunch's online office-canteen application with payroll integrations, hellocare's on-demand care marketplace, and a Rails-based shift-planning MVP for shyftplan. More recently, I built an orchestration workflow for Claude Code, Codex, and other model APIs, with review gates and human approval.
