Software Engineer focused on internal business systems, backend development, and data-driven workflows.
About Me
I'm a Software Engineer with 6+ years of experience across web development and software engineering. I started out building websites and web applications in agency and SME environments before moving into backend-oriented development on complex internal systems.
I currently work at KBB (Federal Cultural Events Berlin) on a large internal backoffice application. My work covers the full lifecycle of a complex business system: backend development, data modelling, workflow and access control logic, integrations, and production support. I work in a small engineering team with broad technical ownership across the whole application.
