Résumé
I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 12 years of experience building scalable systems and immersive experiences. My expertise spans backend architecture, cloud-native development, and game engineering. I am currently seeking new challenges in remote-first or fully remote organizations.
Beyond code, I am a published author and a frequent tech conference speaker, including regular appearances at the Kassel Code Meetup. I am available for speaking engagements focusing on Golang and Software Architecture. I have been featured on the GoTimeFM podcast and love traveling to conferences to stay ahead of industry trends.
I am passionate about staying at the forefront of technology, specifically focusing on embedded systems via TinyGo, home automation, and professional game development with Unity. When I’m not at my desk or at a conference, I’m usually out for a walk with my two dogs.
