[ Quality & Performance Fanatic ]
Webmaster & Staff Software Engineer
Since 2016, I’ve had the privilege of being part of founding teams for corporate and venture-backed startups, owning critical aspects of product development and web infrastructure.
I enjoy optimizing processes beyond what was thought to be possible, in pursuit of maximum performance without compromising code and product quality.
Head of Tech Quality @ doinstruct
Backed by HV Capital with €16.5m, €26m total
I optimize and maintain the entire CI/CD pipeline as well as local and remote quality gates, build specialized tooling for automation, and routinely resolve critical/high prod issues, enabling devs across all teams to work more efficiently and with less headaches.
Scaled CI for agentic development: 4x increase in PR checks with 1.8x increase in GitHub Actions spend. Thanks to the monorepo migration, just 28% more devs produced 331% more output.
Rebuilt CI to be deterministic and extremely fast with custom changed files detection, highly optimized PR checks, and pre-commit and pre-push checks with custom lint rules, and <4min total check time.
Defined quality gates for the entire dev team so agent PRs meet the same standard as human-written code. Despite 7.7x PR count growth, red builds went down to 1/3rd of baseline.
Migrated all repos into one monorepo for maximum synergy: Same local + remote quality gates for all apps. Types, components, libraries, tooling, etc. shared via locally-linked packages; no build + publish step required.
Rewrote frontend session handling to be fully tab-agnostic, enabling employees to safely switch between clients for customer support, onboarding, or client demos without leaking other clients' data.
Founder @hyperfocused agency
While on paternity leave, I ran my own web agency, providing design and web development services for small businesses and startups.
Founding Engineer @ Optimate
Corporate startup of TRUMPF
As founding engineer at Optimate, a corporate startup of TRUMPF (global market leader in industrial laser technology and machine tools) I was the main contributor to a now patented algorithm for automated 3D sheet metal part optimization and error analysis. This project involved using TS + Vue, Python, and C to their limits to combine machine learning with complex state-of-the-art 3D transformations of STEP files.
I reduced the 20min duration of the CTO's POC down to 1.5min, creating an MVP that secured additional funding by TRUMPF to grow the startup, after which I became Tech Lead of a small dev team.
A corporate startup of Europe's largest retailer Schwarz Group (Lidl & Kaufland), with the aim to build Europe's first large-scale cloud contestant to AWS and GCP.
As part of a SCRUM team I built the frontend using TS + Angular and the MongoDB service broker with Golang.
My talent for public appearances enabled me to further the startup's interests through recruiting at job fairs and raising awareness through presentations, both at LIDL HQ, Neckarsulm, and in the greater surrounding area.
Thanks to this, I received the nickname “Face of STACKIT”.
Schwarz Group financed my Bachelor's degree and made me fall in love with Linux. I learned to script and code in vim, building fullstack web apps with bash, Python, JS and PHP 5 on (slightly neglected) RHEL jump hosts, mainly for Linux server installation automation.
