About Me

I'm a Senior Fullstack Engineer based in Berlin, with over 20+ years of experience building scalable, high-performance web applications and leading engineering teams.

My expertise spans both technical development and design, with deep knowledge in React, Next.js, Node.js, and AWS, combined with strong UI/UX design skills. I deliver clean, maintainable code and user-centered design systems across industries like fintech, classifieds, and e-commerce.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me traveling, behind the lens doing photography, deep into a good book, or enjoying a strategic game of chess.
