I am a software engineer with many years of experience for Mobile (iOS / Flutter) and web, including knowledge of the "full-stack" of web technologies for frontend and backend services.
As a developer and technical lead I managed various projects for well-known, multinational clients (e.g. Daimler AG, Mercedes-Benz Museum, Autostadt / Porsche AG, ImmobilienScout24, BKK VBU) and lead teams of varying sizes (between 5 to 15 persons). Having worked in a usability agency for many years and being extremely self-motivated with a strong interest for „usable“ products which are balanced with a technical design for a long term use.

Support for the realisation of (mobile) applications in the field of eHealth and the digitalisation of the health care system. Implementation of an app for insured persons of the BKK VBU to get in contact with your health insurance company and to be able to complete tasks. In addition to the app (flutter), the complete stack was realized on the basis of Kubernetes and various individual services. These services were connected to established standard tools of health insurance companies (e.g. 21c of BITMARCK) to provide data for policyholders.

Maintained an app for a large multinational corporation of nonalcoholic beverage concentrates which was used by a large group of sales representatives in Europe. The app was highly reactive, connected to Salesforce backend and used Couchbase lite for local persistence. I migrated the app and related frameworks to Swift 4.2 and gave architectural decisions and recommendations.

Support in maintaining an iOS app for a leading German multinational automotive company. Implemented new features in weekly sprints, performed code reviews and refactored several parts of the app to reduce technical debt. I also implemented an app (from scratch) for visitors of congresses to manage their favorite lectures, asking questions to the referents and reviewing the whole event agenda. The app uses Google Firebase as backend, the main architecture is built upon MVVM and set its focus upon offline capabilities to deal with bad network coverage.
