Senior Software Engineer & Team Lead with 13+ years of experience building enterprise applications — from custom ERP systems to modern SaaS platforms, now with AI at the center of my daily workflow.
I'm a 37-year-old Senior Full Stack Developer with a passion for turning complex business problems into elegant software solutions. Since 2013, I've successfully worked across the entire stack — from frontend to backend, API integration, databases, and DevOps.
In some companies, I was the sole developer carrying full responsibility, while in others I grew into a mentor and team lead. I've delivered multiple projects independently and as a senior member of development teams.
Today AI is a fixed part of how I work: I code daily with Claude Code (mostly Opus), build AI chatbots for simple Q&A and ad-hoc report generation, and experiment with local LLMs such as Qwen via Ollama — the latter as a playground, not in production.

Preferred Stack
Over a decade of building software solutions across diverse industries — from custom ERP systems to enterprise SaaS platforms.
NHD GmbH
Leading a team of four frontend developers and coordinating closely with the backend team. Currently migrating a monolithic legacy system to a modern microservice architecture. The software is offered as SaaS and serves as an add-on for SAP to simplify external workforce management.
ICON Technologies Limited
Developed an external tool for the production environment to enable a paperless workflow. Managed both production and warehouse areas, built ERP system interfaces, and was responsible for all systems, servers, and their operations. Supported by a junior colleague and an external partner.
Berg Trailers
Built a small ERP system from scratch using a LAMP stack per the employer's preference. Worked on this system for three years, and it is still in use today with minimal external support.
Publicis Pixelpark
Worked on the Siemens AG website using Java and Adobe Experience Manager. Gained valuable experience with Scrum and teamwork in an agile team of eight interdisciplinary colleagues, with a focus on backend development and API integrations.
Meisterbetten GmbH
Built a custom ERP system with Java, Swing, and AWT, replacing the company's Excel-based processes. Also created delivery optimization tools using the Google API to solve distribution challenges for the sales team.
A versatile toolkit built over 13+ years of hands-on development across diverse projects and industries.
AI isn't a side experiment for me — it's part of how I write, review and ship software, and increasingly part of what I build.
I use Claude Code as my everyday development environment — mostly the Opus models — for feature work, refactorings, code review and exploring unfamiliar codebases. It has become a natural part of my workflow rather than an occasional helper.
I build AI chatbots that answer simple, recurring questions and generate reports on demand — like Holger, a RAG assistant at NHD that creates ad-hoc dashboards and reports with real insights — turning manual data pulls into a short conversation instead of a ticket.
On the side I run local models such as Qwen with Ollama to explore self-hosted inference, data privacy and offline use cases. Currently a playground — not yet running in production.
From marketplaces and enterprise platforms to AI assistants and tailored ERPs — and the tools and games I build on the side.
Design & Implementation · celebrize.de
A two-sided marketplace connecting people planning weddings and private celebrations with DJs, photographers, caterers, locations and more — starting in the OWL region. Providers get profiles, requests, a calendar and invoicing; celebrants get step-by-step planning, real-time availability, direct booking and verified reviews. Includes Carla, an AI agent that helps providers with their profile, services and pricing.
JUST NEXT
Design · just-next.com
In ProgressOne feed for everything happening in your city — concerts, markets, sports and meetups — alongside events from your communities, favourite organizers and friends. Users subscribe to cities, join invite-only communities, follow organizer channels, RSVP and get notified before events start; venues, clubs and artists publish straight to their subscribers. Mobile apps are in soft launch, with the web app and organizer dashboard on the way.
NHD GmbH · nhd-software.com
A modular SaaS execution layer between ERP/CMMS and the field: real-time control over contractor labor, time management, invoicing, sourcing, scaffolding and analytics for oil & gas, chemicals and energy sites. I lead the frontend team migrating the legacy monolith to microservices.
NHD GmbH · AES/32 Module
Manages the complete lifecycle of rented equipment — from request and multi-level approval through active tracking and maintenance to return and invoicing — with real-time visibility across every project instead of spreadsheets.
NHD GmbH · Internal AI Assistant
A retrieval-augmented chatbot that answers questions about operational data and generates ad-hoc dashboards and reports on demand — turning manual data pulls into a short conversation that surfaces genuinely useful insights.
NHD GmbH · Internal Knowledge Base
An internal wiki for NHD Software with AI-driven search: instead of a list of links, users get a concise answer that summarizes multiple relevant articles for their query.
ICON Technologies · icondirect.com / icondirect.ca
A PWA that replaced paper job sheets on the shop floor of an RV-parts manufacturer (thermoforming & rotational molding). Covers production and warehouse workflows with interfaces to the ERP system — including servers and operations.
Berg Trailers · bergtrailers.net
A small ERP built from scratch for a Canadian grain- and box-trailer manufacturer, replacing a patchwork of Excel files with one shared system tailored to how the company works. Still in use today with minimal external support.
Meisterbetten GmbH · meisterbetten.de
A Travelling Salesman solver for a boxspring-bed manufacturer that delivers and assembles on site: given 7–8 destination cities, it finds the visiting order with the shortest distance or fastest travel time using real road data from the Google API.
Clariant · Germany · Internal Tool
An internal engineering tool for the specialty chemicals company Clariant that determines the right pipes and boxes from a set of very complex lookup tables — turning a slow, error-prone manual lookup into a quick, reliable calculation.
Websites I designed, built and launched — mostly on WordPress — including earlier projects that are no longer online.
impeltransport.com
Website for a Manitoba trucking and logistics company — services from flat decks and dry vans to temperature-controlled, cross-border and 3PL, plus team, facility, certifications and gallery pages.
impelhes.com
Website for Impel’s class 8 truck and trailer service shop — repairs, safety inspections, A/C, alignment, powertrains and more, with news and location pages.
cc-morden.com
Created and manage the bilingual (English/German) website for a church in Morden, Manitoba — service times, events calendar, livestream and sermon archive, contact and donations.
Germany · E-Commerce
Developed and launched a series of online shops selling boxspring beds in Germany, built on WordPress and other CMS platforms.
Manitoba, Canada · Real Estate
A platform for selling houses in Manitoba, connecting property sellers with buyers online.
Things I build on the side — a real-time multiplayer game, an AI writing tool, a small app for my kids’ school and casual games playable on desktop and mobile.
polyomino.io
“Tetris gives you shapes — polyomino.io lets you build your own.” A free browser game where players collect food to grow their piece square by square, then dock it onto a shared live arena. Four modes — Tetromino (free-for-all), Pentomino (co-op picture filling), Domino (race to bridge the walls) and Triomino — plus private rooms with PIN codes, Respawn and Hardcore rules, and no account needed: just a nickname.
screenplay.loewenmedia.com
Write your own screenplay in proper Hollywood format. The AI helps with correct English and screenplay formatting — scene headings, action, dialogue and transitions — and guides you all the way to a complete script.
obstkalender.loewenmedia.com
A small volunteer app for my kids’ school: parents sign up to cut fruit for the class, two per school day. Access is protected by a code from the parents’ letter, admins can block school-free days, and each week’s plan can be shared as an image straight to messaging apps. Installable on the phone.
