Summary

I am a software developer with almost 20 years of experience, mainly in backend and database areas. What has driven me all these years is my passion for clean architectures, clear code, and solutions that not only work but also convince in the long run.

I have supported projects from idea to go-live – sometimes classically in a waterfall model, sometimes agile with a DevOps mindset. For many years, my focus was on Oracle technologies. I developed, analyzed, and optimized data models and program logic with SQL and PL/SQL and created frontends with Oracle APEX.

In recent years, Python has become my preferred tool for backend development. I have built APIs, automated tests, containerized applications, and set up and expanded CI/CD pipelines – always aiming to create robust, maintainable, and scalable systems.

I have also gained experience as a technical project lead – from team coordination and scheduling to communication with clients and business units. What matters to me is that in the end, technology and requirements really fit together.

If you are looking for someone who not only develops reliably but also thinks ahead, takes responsibility, and is happy to go the extra mile – I look forward to connecting.
