Work Experience

Software Engineer, Team R&D
As a software engineer at Awesome Technologies Innovationslabor GmbH, I am responsible for developing and maintaining software solutions for clients in the german healthcare and medical technology sectors.
My role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to design and implement software applications that meet the needs of the client and comply with industry standards and government regulations.
I work closely with product managers, designers, and other stakeholders to define project requirements, develop technical specifications, and deliver high-quality software solutions on time and within budget.

Technologies Used: Python (Mypy, Pydantic, FastAPI), JavaScript (React), Docker, Kubernetes

Full-Stack Developer & IT-Sysadmin
As part of the project, an existing web platform was extended with a component for in-house document and file management to reduce paperwork and administrative friction for company management.
My tasks included planning, designing, and developing the document management system as well as fully integrating it with the existing web platform. Additionally, I was responsible for testing, deployment, and maintenance.
For the frontend, I used VueJS & Vuetify technologies, implemented the RESTful API in the Spring Boot Java backend, and used PostgreSQL & Hibernate for the database layer.
Version control was carried out via Atlassian Jira and BitBucket. The project was successfully deployed and commissioned.

Technologies Used: Vue.js (TypeScript), Vuetify (UI), Spring Boot (Java), Hibernate, PostgreSQL, Atlassian

Working Student Software Engineer
As a student assistant and software developer at the Coordination Office for Data Processing in Administration at the State Universities of Applied Sciences in Bavaria (Germany), I was given the task to develope a internally used web platform for data management and administration.
The project involved tasks such as requirement analysis, data modeling, UI concept, web application development with C# and JavaScript, and use of GUI frameworks such as ASP.NET Core MVC and Bootstrap 4.
I mapped the data model using Entity Framework Core and Microsoft SQL Server and implemented continuous test-driven development using the MSTest unit testing framework.
Throughout the project, I worked closely with the responsible domain expert and proved that I could integrate complex changes through clean refactoring in existing source code.

Technologies Used: ASP.NET Core MVC (C#), MSTest, Bootstrap, Entity Framework Core, Microsoft SQL Server
