01. About
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. With almost a decade of experience engineering backend systems at scale, I specialize in distributed architectures, cloud-native infrastructure, and the art of making complex microservices appear effortlessly simple.
My toolkit spans from low-level systems programming C and C++ to high-level API design and platform engineering — always with a focus on observability, fault tolerance, and developer experience. I hold a Diploma in Computer Science from the Technical University Dresden and have been shipping production code ever since.
