About

I'm a software engineer based in Kassel, Germany, with over ten years of experience building and supporting production systems in enterprise environments — from Java and Kafka at DHL logistics to internal trading tools and customer-facing applications at Micromata GmbH.

Security is part of how I work: penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and reviewing AI-generated code before it ships. I use AI to move faster through the lifecycle, but quality and human judgment stay the gate for every merge.

As a Cursor Ambassador, I design hackathons, Build Days, and Café Cursor sessions across Germany, speak at conferences and meetups, and publish apps like Charge a Smile on the App Store. I enjoy the intersection of hands-on engineering, security, and developer adoption.

Principles

AI accelerates how I move through the software lifecycle — it is not a substitute for engineering judgment.

Quality and security stay the gate for every merge and release.

Software Development
- End-to-end delivery: plan, build, document
- Architecture, tests, and engineering standards
- On-call, incidents, and long-term support
Security
- Penetration testing and vulnerability assessments
- Security reviews on customer-facing systems
- Verify AI output before merge — human judgment in the loop
AI
- Discover: workshops and prototyping (AI Connect)
- Build: faster implementation and refactors, paired with review
- Release: same production bar — quality before deploy

How they work together

I combine all three in practice: shipping production software at enterprise scale, reviewing AI-generated code with a security mindset, and running adoption programs where teams learn to build faster without lowering the bar.

Work

I ship production software with a security mindset, use AI to move faster through the lifecycle, and keep human review as the gate before every merge — then I teach that same discipline through workshops, hackathons, and community programs.
