Description

I'm a full-stack engineer and technical leader with 15+ years of experience building web applications — from user-facing products to data-heavy analytics platforms and complex internal tools.

Most recently I spent 12 years at Gruvi, a Berlin-based cinema advertising company, where I grew from software engineer to CTO. In that time I designed and built the company's core campaign management platform (processing 8 years of data across 8 advertising channels), created a data analytics function from scratch under a €500K EU-funded grant, and led the engineering team through multiple infrastructure migrations and product cycles. The tools I built enabled operations and sales teams to roughly quadruple their client capacity without growing headcount.

I'm at my best in lean, high-autonomy environments where I can own problems end-to-end — from architecture and cloud infrastructure through to shipping features and aligning technical decisions with business goals. My stack spans Ruby on Rails, React, SvelteKit, Node.js, and Python, with production experience across Google Cloud and AWS.

On the side, I'm building SoundFox (soundfox.io), a tool for musicians and producers currently in early beta.

I'm based in Berlin and open to senior engineering and technical leadership roles, particularly in music tech. Always happy to connect.
