Mobile & Full-Stack Engineer

Propstack GmbH

At Propstack I was hired to lead the mobile app development after a longer period of stagnation. Parts of my plans to update the codebase and prepare the app for future development were:

  • refactoring of the app, reimplementing stores, models, API client, screens and components using Typescript
  • adding performant on-device storage for stores as a preparation for an offline mode
  • adding the RNUILib to achieve a minimal and modern UI design fast
  • implementing native packages to provide more features (e.g. displaying of Caller Ids)

After the initial refactoring and redesign of the app, I will start working on feature development and improvements to the UX.

Summary

Over the past 8 years working in different software engineering positions, I gained knowledge and experience in designing, enhancing and maintaining PHP and Vue.js based web applications as well as mobile applications based on mobile frameworks such as React Native but also using the native languages Java, Objective-C and Swift. As part of my efforts to modernize the development and release processes, I learned to implement CI/CD pipelines, build flexible Docker images, integrate GitOps, as well as to set up, maintain and monitor Kubernetes clusters for example using DataDog and Elastic (ELK Stack). At AMS, it is my responsibility to restructure the legacy monolithic web applications towards cloud ready service-based applications using REST- and GraphQL-APIs, Kubernetes, Edge Routing using Ambassador Edge Stack, centralized IAM using Keycloak, Service Mesh using Istio, Monitoring using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK-Stack and much more.
