Building software meant to last
I am a software engineer based in Hamburg, Germany, with more than 25 years of professional experience.
My work spans backend systems, web applications, and developer tooling, primarily using Java, Spring Boot, Spring AI, Go, PostgreSQL, React, and TypeScript. I also use AI coding agents as part of my day-to-day development workflow. I value clear code, pragmatic architecture, and systems that remain maintainable as products and teams evolve.
Let's talk
I'm always happy to connect with people interested in software development, open source, and maintainable systems.
