Introduction

Software Engineer Dedicated to developer and user experience.

I started building websites at 12 with HTML and still enjoy working close to the details. I am studying Computer Science in Hamburg and currently work as a working student at AKRA, where I help build client-facing features with Vue, Nuxt, and Go. Before that, I worked at Auctores on customer websites and internal product development across frontend and backend.

Scalable Architectures

I build systems that stay legible as products expand, from shared UI foundations to backend boundaries and delivery workflows a team can keep building on.

Refined UI

Interfaces should feel clear, calm, and trustworthy. I care about typography, spacing, and interaction details that help a product feel well considered.

DX Focused

Good developer experience creates momentum. I value patterns, tooling, and handoffs that make a codebase easier to change and easier to share.

Strategic Thinking

I try to keep the product context in view while implementing. Features work best when real user needs, performance, and maintainability reinforce each other.

Working style

"The details are not the details. They make the design."

I like products that feel well considered without trying too hard. The work is usually best when design, implementation quality, performance, and product decisions support each other.
