I’m a software engineer who is passionate about new technologies and working with people from different backgrounds. In my free time I like playing tennis and reading books. Besides that, my girlfriend and I have started to conquer the Alps.
Together with a freelance colleague, I developed a serverless web application for creating, conducting and analyzing company polls. React's declaritive and compononent based approach allowed us to progress quickly with the development while also being able to improve old components. Furthermore, it enabled us to separate client side from server side code which can be useful if we want to change our backend programming language later on. Due to its wide range of standard UI compomnents and support for React, we use Semantic UI as a CSS UI library. Benefiting from a strongly typed schema and reducing the number of fetches on the client were strong arguments for trying out GraphQL. We hosted all static files like HMTL, CSS, JavaScript or media files on AWS S3. Using AWS Lambda with AWS DynamoDB as a NoSQL database provided scalability of our backend and turned fixed costs into variable costs. Learn more
At Quodera, we built a cross-plattform mobile app for the start-up Floating Office. It allows their users to control the height and tilt of their floating table product via Bluetooth. We chose React Native due to our prior experience with React. It enabled us to quickly build user interfaces and logic code in JavaScript without writing Java or Swift code for iOS or Android.
I designed and developed the website of my former company. Using Handlebars allowed me to write modular components which are easier to maintain and to improve. All Handlebars code is compiled to HTML in a build step with gulp so that no client side scripting is necessary. Moreover, I minified all static files with gulp. I chose AWS S3 for hosting all static files because it works seamlessly with AWS Cloudfront as a CDN and AWS Route 53 as the DNS. Learn more
As a full stack developer at VANTAiO, I created the concept, designed and built a digital notice board. It typically is used in intranet portals of corporations and enables employers to find or offer goods, apartments, etc. like in eBay Kleinanzeigen. Learn more
A friend of mine and I started to develop a community platform for people with an inflammatory bowel disease. It is inspired by Stackoverflow and gives users a quicker way to find useful answers without suffering from information overload in facebook groups. Learn more
I designed and developed a digital meal menu which is typically used in VANTAiO intranet platforms. It enables authors to maintain the weekly meal of their corporation's canteen. Employees can get an overview of the current offer of the week and can filter meals based on allergies, preferences or intolerances. Learn more
