About Me
I'm an engineering manager and a software development architect at CTS EVENTIM in Bremen, Germany, where I lead a full-stack development team. With a Masters in Information and Automation Engineering, I bring over a decade of experience in software architecture, full-stack development, and quality assurance. I work with technologies like Angular, NestJS, .NET Core, Docker, and Kubernetes to build scalable, maintainable systems. As a mentor and chapter lead, I'm passionate about fostering engineering excellence and helping teams grow. Outside of work, I enjoy contributing to open-source, playing chess, photography, and continuous learning.
