I build production full-stack platforms, APIs, and AI-powered retrieval systems.
GermanyWhat I'm looking for
I build production full-stack platforms and AI-powered products, most recently at Fraunhofer IPMS and Afiniti. At Fraunhofer IPMS, I'm building a searchable wafer-metrology platform with an LLM chatbot, PKI-based smart-card authentication, and a data-lake pipeline.
At Afiniti, I built Minerva, spanning document ingestion, structured extraction, and LLM-based RAG retrieval, while also owning versioned REST APIs for a contact-center platform deployed at Avaya. I improved data modeling and query performance to reduce API latency by 35%.
I've also architected a microservices CRM platform, led and mentored a team of five, and built real-time communication systems sustaining sub-120ms latency. I enjoy owning features from conception through production, with a focus on clean code, performance, and developer experience.
