Product-minded software engineer with frontend focus and backend reach.
I help teams build digital products that feel clear and genuinely pleasant to use. My hands-on work centers on frontend engineering with Expo and React Native, with experience in React, Vue, and Nuxt.
I work best in the overlap of product, engineering, and UX: thinking not only about implementation, but also whether a feature deserves to exist, how it should fit into the product, and what keeps the codebase healthy after the first push to ship.
Frontend-heavy product engineer working across implementation, product clarity, and delivery momentum.
Mobile and web products that need both thoughtful implementation and product judgment.
Close to product, design, and engineering, with attention to clarity, UX, and maintainability.
Barcelona, working comfortably across distributed teams and cross-functional collaboration.
Digital products that feel clear, genuinely pleasant to use, and less quietly frustrating.
In the overlap of product, engineering, and UX, thinking about feature fit as much as implementation.
Agentic setups, specialized tooling, and verification loops that reduce waiting time without lowering the bar.
Comfort stepping into backend and infrastructure when a project needs end-to-end momentum.
A path through product, frontend, and full-stack delivery
The recurring thread in my work is not only implementation. It is helping products become clearer, more usable, and easier to keep healthy over time.
Freelance Product Engineer
Independent consulting with a frontend-first, product-minded perspective.
- Focused on pragmatic product engineering and UX-oriented implementation.
- Using AI-supported development workflows to shorten iteration loops without sacrificing code quality.
Co-Founder / Frontend + Product Engineer
Building AI-supported React Native mobile products while contributing across both product and implementation.
- Owning frontend implementation in Expo and shaping product scope, copy, onboarding, and usability refinements.
- Supporting delivery pragmatically with Firebase and agent-supported workflows.
Senior Frontend Engineer
Supported ongoing projects by pushing structural improvements around clarity, architecture, and maintainability.
- Helped shape work from early planning in Confluence and Miro through Jira ticket definition into implementation.
- Organized alignment around code quality, testing, and healthier engineering workflows.
- Wrote the tender-winning frontend concept for a major Nuxt-based project with substantial business importance.
Fullstack Engineer
Helped drive a React application for vehicle fleet management through launch and continued support.
- Contributed to backend services owned by the team and took on on-call responsibilities.
- Supported technical design and implementation decisions across a broader product context.
- Took on research and discovery work to help conceptualize new features with cross-disciplinary colleagues.
Founding Product Engineer
Coordinated frontend development while the company grew from startup stage toward European market leadership.
- Launched an extensive web application for analyzing and visualizing data from bee hives.
- Initiated the redesign and rewrite of the existing frontend to modernize the interface and introduce Vue.js.
Frontend depth, supported by delivery and platform range
I am strongest when building product-facing interfaces, but the stack around that work is broad enough to keep delivery moving instead of stopping at boundaries.
Where I spend most of my day-to-day implementation energy.
The practices I tend to strengthen once I am inside a product team.
Systems I am comfortable stepping into to keep a product moving end to end.
Research roots and ongoing side missions
The profile also makes more sense with the research background behind it and the projects I support outside primary delivery work.
Master of Science in Computer Science
Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg ยท Final grade 1.0
A research-heavy background that still shapes how I reason about systems, tradeoffs, and technical depth.
- Master's thesis on simulating the motion of very light particles in fluid with an adaptively refined lattice Boltzmann method.
- Journal publication in the International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids.
Founder advisory and support across the digital side of the business.

I am especially interested in mobile and web products that care about interaction quality, clear thinking, and pragmatic delivery from idea to implementation.
