About

Hi there! 👋

I am a Full-Stack Engineer with a passion for building software that is useful and easy to use. I am currently working at vivenu.com - Empowering Limitless Ticketing, to which I went after realizing that I can accomplish more by just getting the hands dirty and implementing novel business concepts or ideas (read more). Previously I worked at KPMG AG - Cyber Security Consulting where I was able to learn many advisory related skills while also providing technological guidance in the Cyber Security Consulting Business.

This tech and business focus is theoretically founded on a joined study of Business Administration and Computer Science at TU Darmstadt. There I was not only taught but was also able to return some of my knowledge by supporting and teaching as a student research assistant for renowned Business Informatics Prof. Benlian. At this position I gained deep knowledge at the cross-section of Computer Science, Business Administration and Psychology.

I started coding at the age of 12. By now, I have been fortunate enough to share many projects with friends and colleagues, which enabled me to interact with many different coding paradigms, architectures and technologies. This formed my understanding of the whole product development lifecycle.

On the other hand, by trying to scale some of those projects while also studying the theoretical aspects of business administration, I was able to develop an understanding of what it means to leverage tech and engineering in a broader way. It was always an interest of mine to evaluate different approaches and understand the implications of technology and its changes to the individual life’s as well as to the economy as a whole. Broadly those interests can be listed as follows:

Psychological effects of IT: nudging, interaction design and mental health

Designing secure and intuitive user experiences

Platform business models as a new strategy
