I am driven by doing more than what is expected. I take on things bigger than I think I can handle and work out the rest along the way. That is how I shipped GigAway alone in eight weeks, and how a two-person team grew Physiofit to 70k+ monthly users.

I do my best work where I own a product end to end: the idea, the design, the engineering, the launch and what comes after. I am looking for a product engineer role at a startup where I can take on real responsibility and grow with it.

Outside work

I train, and I like a hard challenge. I did the Murph, a mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats and another mile run in a 9 kg weight vest, every day for 25 days in a row. My best time is 52 minutes. Then the Triple 10 challenge: 100 pull-ups, 100 push-ups and a 10 km run, every day for 10 days. My best time is 77:41.

I finished the HYROX Pro Doubles in 1:17:13. My personal records are 100 push-ups in under 5 minutes and 100 pull-ups in under 11. I also dance salsa and do a lot of calisthenics. I am polyvalent, I can help you build your product, at the same time teach you the Enchufla and show you how to get a proper handstand.

Work

GigAway

Free, verified lodging for touring performers.

Singers, instrumentalists and dancers travel for auditions and contracts, and lodging is their biggest cost. GigAway connects them with colleagues' spare couches. No money, no fee.

  • Mobile app for iOS and Android, an admin web app and the backend, built alone in about 8 weeks.
  • Every member is checked by hand with ID and proof of work. Contact details appear only after an accepted offer.
  • Expo, React Native, TypeScript and Supabase, with approval-gated CI/CD and GDPR export and deletion.

Founder and solo engineer. In review on the App Store and Google Play.

Physiofit

The digital platform for physiotherapy practices in Germany.

Therapists assign guided video exercises in about 20 seconds. I was one of two engineers who took it from zero to 70k+ monthly users across 600+ practices.

  • Two therapist PWAs, a multi-practice owner dashboard, an embeddable check-in widget and the redesigned patient app.
  • Paginated lazy loading: pages with thousands of records now load in under one second.
  • Production issues across iOS, Android and cloud fixed in about an hour with Sentry and GCP.

Software engineer, full stack and mobile. Team of two engineers.

Chatwoot

One shared inbox for support and sales.

Intercom had become expensive, with many features nobody used. I led the migration to Chatwoot, which was more affordable and a better fit. Part of Physiofit.

  • Set up Chatwoot across our web apps and the mobile app, onboarded the customer support team, and built automations that assign each ticket to the right person and pick up the right data from every inquiry.
  • When a lead books a meeting through the HubSpot widget, a webhook picks up the meeting data. Chatwoot then sends a WhatsApp reminder, with a second one scheduled, and the lead can ask questions in that chat before the meeting.
  • The same webhook assigns the lead's ticket to the team member on the meeting and notifies sales in Slack. The conversation stays in one place, and once the lead becomes a customer it is handed to customer support.

Replaced Intercom. Connects Chatwoot, HubSpot, WhatsApp and Slack.

Voice Agent

A front desk that picks up at any hour.

An AI phone agent for physiotherapy practices, built in two tiers to keep spending under control. Part of Physiofit.

  • Basic mode is a smart answering machine. It asks, records, and Gemini turns the answer into structured data for the practice dashboard.
  • Advanced mode is a live two-way conversation. It costs more, so it is its own tier.
  • Real-time token cost estimates are posted to Slack, so spending is always visible.

The front desk is reachable around the clock instead of only on weekdays.

Translator

Patients fill in forms in their own language.

Therapists build their own forms and write them in their language. Patients open them on their phone through a QR code, and the translation happens automatically. Part of Physiofit.

  • Fully customisable forms, built by the therapist in the dashboard.
  • Content is translated by AI on submission, so nobody rebuilds a form per language.
  • Only changed text is re-translated, and live cost estimates go to Slack.

Minimal cost per translation.

Getfit

A React Native app at a six-person startup.

I shipped features working directly with the CTO. The work laid the foundation for the pivot into Physiofit.

Software engineer, full stack and mobile. Jul 2023 to Feb 2024.

MSG

An AR indoor navigation app for warehouse workers.

An iOS developer internship with TUM and MSG. We built an AR-based indoor navigation and localization app that helps warehouse workers find their way. I owned the 3D Room Builder module end to end, which scans and visualises a whole warehouse room in 3D.

  • Built in Swift and ARKit, with 2D and 3D spatial modeling features.
  • Delivered the MVP and presented it to key industry partners.

iOS developer intern. Mar 2023 to Jul 2023.

Mercedes

A 3D immersive car configurator.

A university internship with TUM, Mercedes and Salesforce. I led a team of 5 developers building an MVP of an immersive 3D car configurator with React, TypeScript and PostgreSQL.

  • As frontend team lead I owned the frontend architecture, the sprint planning and the code reviews.
  • Delivered the MVP and a final presentation to corporate stakeholders.

Frontend team lead. Sep 2022 to Dec 2022.

NTT DATA

Internal tools in Angular, an incident system in React.

As a working student I built internal management cockpit tools in Angular and helped redesign an incident-management system in React.

Front end engineer, working student. Jan 2022 to Jul 2023.
