03 / Current
I currently lead web development at Krauss Kommunikation and work as a Technical Lead and software engineer based in Germany.
Most of my work sits somewhere between application development, architecture and infrastructure — I like taking things that have grown messy over time and turning them into systems that are boring to operate.
Outside of work, I tend to build small tools for problems that annoy me enough — sometimes they turn into open-source projects, sometimes into products, and sometimes they stay weird weekend experiments.
