I've honed my focus on the software projects and emerging technologies I'm passionate about learning.

Here are the key highlights:

- Created detailed visual animations to illustrate and simplify highly abstract problems, effectively synthesizing environmental characteristics and their associated properties

- Contributed extensively to an array of open-source projects such as Millipede (a large-scale Next app), JClouds, React, Framer-Motion, Fresnel amongst many others

- Exploration of integrating modern deployment and persistence approaches within the OSGi service landscape. Creating demonstrators to validate the feasibility (Proof-of-Concept) of OSGi v7 and v8

+ Coupled with Docker and GraalVM Native Image deployments

+ Linked with Neo4j / OGM

- Ventured into machine learning, gaining foundational knowledge in various frameworks like Tensorflow and PyTorch

- Developed a strong emphasis on functional programming, utilizing it as the core principle in my software projects

- Dived into the world of new, intriguing programming languages, with a special interest in Rust

Lighthouse project to enable digital transformation in real estate finance

- Web-based application that reflects the entire loan origination process

- Real-time calculation pipeline to determine crucial figures fully autonomous

- Transform slow work routines into smart, decision-supported collaborative workflows

- Boost onboarding experience of new users through reactive cross-app interactions

The project's primary objective was to replace all third-party applications utilized in the bank, including extensive Excel spreadsheets and other calculation and valuation programs.

The application was entirely rebuilt from scratch using a robust stack of open-source technologies. This enabled a complete redesign of collaborative workflows used across departments. This redesign not only increased speed but also significantly improved user satisfaction.
