Experienced software engineer building robust, high-performance software. Focus areas: software architecture, algorithms & optimization, scientific computing and AI-agent-assisted development

More about me
Software engineer with 14+ years building critical tools for industry leaders such as Airbus and Liebherr. I enjoy owning problems end-to-end: understanding the need, designing the architecture, and shipping tested, performant code.
Rigorous and adaptable, I ramp up quickly on new domains and technologies, and I leverage AI coding agents to speed up delivery. I care about code quality, testing and clear communication within a team.
