My work experience (CV)

Building an internal geolocation database service and internal dashboards for the company’s products and services. Focus is on building fast (using LLM/AI support) and scalable solutions for a complex application in a small team while caring about robust and secure implementation of code.

Helping the teams with their frontend libraries, a unified component library, and transitioning old external solutions into modern internal projects. I also kicked off the accessibility compliance project for the first product and coached developers and QA people about the topic.

Helping the Data Engineering team to be more effective building AI and various API products in time.

Organizing and building the architecture, technology and workflow base for a new web application serving a global customer portal and connecting various products and APIs together.

Refactoring an existing codebase into a modern, reliable, and high-performance codebase to solve ongoing performance problems with the web application that’s used in the fields by thousands of customers. We achieved a lean and robust solution that’s seamless to use and has no performance issues anymore.

An event management and knowledge discovery platform. As a team of three, we founded and created a social event platform from scratch. After four years, we shut down the project due to lack of market relevance.

I helped two teams building the right things that are valuable for the customers, prioritized the work and coached people these skills so they can do it on their own. As Engineering Manager I made sure that people are well, can work in a safe work environment and at the same time evolve their career and learn new skills. This included hiring people and helping the HR department in their decisions.

I refactored a lot of legacy code and built new, fast and scalable codebases with modern toolchains in a set of three teams. This included coaching junior developers and regularly auditing other codebases for performance, scalability, accessibility problems.

I helped building two websites that serve millions of customers and data with a lean tech stack in the background. This included a lot of hand-crafted code and smart decisions to solve certain problems that come with such projects. I was responsible for the frontend part and the overall technical customer experience.

In a small team we’ve done the architecture of the international set of websites for the organisation. This meant a styleguide and custom tech framework on a Wordpress Multi-Site basis, using Scrum as work methodology. I was responsible for the frontend guidelines and codebase.

Wireframe and front-end prototype development for the Sahana Disaster Management Foundation.

I was hired for building a global website system that scales and lasts within a small team. Quickly, we grew to 45 people and I together with a colleague was responsible for the frontend stack and coordination of the project as well as supervising two of four Scrum teams. In parallel, I build many of the frontend components, test framework and infrastructure with my team. The big part of the project was finished within one year, a perfect example of well working teams and a well organized project.

Front-end architecture and development for the SAP Datacenter website in partnership with Hans-Christian Reinl and grasundsterne agency.

Front-end development and tablet applications using brand new web technologies. As ambassador of Adobe and expert for other big tech companies working on web standards, I was one of the first using the new HTML5 and CSS3 features in real life.

Architecting and building digital magazines, apps and web experiences for clients like FOCUS Magazin, Adobe, and more.

We built corporate designs, websites and did consultancy work for a variety of people and companies successfully. After four years, my business partner switched jobs and this business was split up and transformed into my sole freelance business in 2011.
