About Me

As an experienced Software Engineer with 10 years of professional experience, I specialize in web development and have a proven track record of delivering high-quality software solutions. My journey in the tech industry has led me to work across mobility, fintech, telecommunications, and research-driven products. I currently contribute at Volkswagen Group Digital Solutions, where I build software for factories on a logistics platform that helps determine which parts are needed for each car and ensures the right components reach the right vehicle in production, supporting more than 100 factories across 27 countries in Europe and other global regions. Before that, I helped build an investment dashboard for iCapital and earlier products ranging from sentiment analysis using social network data to revenue assurance platforms.

Outside of my full-time work, I've been building Fruitball, an ongoing side project that helps football groups organize weekly matches through WhatsApp with RSVPs, pitch payment tracking, MVP voting, and team management in a companion application.

My technical skill set, coupled with my passion for problem-solving and team collaboration, makes me a valuable asset to any team seeking a dedicated and skilled Software Engineer.
