Summary
I am a versatile freelance developer and consultant with a focus on API design and implementation. With experience in shaping SaaS products, system architectures, and developing prototypes for innovative solutions, I bring a broad range of skills to technically demanding projects. My expertise spans API design and development, event-driven architecture, CQRS, ETL pipelines, cloud architectures, and more.
In the past, I worked as a Junior Linked Data Consultant, where I dealt with semantic technologies and RDF. I also served as a Research Assistant at a German AI center, where I developed a toolkit for preprocessing MRI data and applied deep learning techniques for COVID-19 diagnosis from X-ray images.
