Software engineer contractor role after 7-month internship. Architected and launched a scalable full-stack community system (React Native & Node.js) for Moonwalk Fitness. Used Redis caching and database indices to serve the feed efficiently to more than 60k users. Designed and implemented backend architecture from scratch for a biotech e-commerce platform and built core services and data models for complex, highly customizable products. Delivered production-ready frontend features and critical bug fixes in React/Next.js within a live user environment.

A two-semester university project recreating the mobile puzzle game Blockudoku. Started out as a native desktop application built with ScalaFX and later evolved into a web application using Vue.js and the Scala Play framework. High emphasis on clean design, strong separation of concerns, and high testability with extensive automated tests. The final system supported real-time multiplayer via WebSockets and WebRTC, OAuth authentication, PWA support, and automated Docker-based deployment.

Computer Science B. Sc. at HTWG Konstanz, and various academic and personal projects. Among these a N-Body simulation focused on performance improvements using OpenMP, MPI, and OpenCL. Additional work included building a reflection-based dependency injection container for Scala and developing a modern Firefox homepage extension with a React frontend and Express backend. Longer-term experimentation also included a partially completed open-source cloud synchronization platform with an authentication server, custom OAuth flow, and Docker-based infrastructure.

A Unity-based strategy game developed over approximately two and a half years during high school in collaboration with Ilja Soutchilin. Featuring a complex codebase including villager AI systems, a dialogue framework, and numerous gameplay mechanics. Visual development used Unity’s HDRP pipeline to implement more advanced graphical features. Although never fully completed, the project reached an early-access stage and provided extensive experience with large-scale game architecture and long-term collaborative development.
