Description

I’m an experienced full-stack developer and project manager with a strong technical focus on Angular, React, and Java (Spring Boot). Over the past years, I’ve worked both as a freelancer and a team lead, delivering complex software solutions for clients in Germany and across Europe.

My project portfolio includes custom web applications, B2B platforms, process automation tools, and data visualization systems. Beyond the technical delivery, I place high value on clean architecture, clear communication, and long-term collaboration.

What sets me apart:

Agile development using Scrum or Kanban

Strong emphasis on usability and scalability

Efficient integration between backend, frontend, and databases

Strategic thinking with a holistic view of project goals

I’m looking for long-term partnerships with companies aiming to improve their digital processes — whether by building tailored software solutions, modernizing legacy systems, or strengthening their teams with technical and organizational expertise.
