AI Engineer & Senior Fullstack Developer · Hamburg, Germany

Fullstack developer based in Hamburg with more than ten years of experience. My core is TypeScript with Angular and Node.js; since 2025 that includes Python for machine learning, and since 2026 React/Next.js, Java and Spring Boot. I design, build and operate LLM-powered products – with approvals, cost limits and data protection designed in from day one.

Focus

What I'm particularly good at – and what I bring to every team.

  • LLM products in production

    Tiered model choice, hardened prompts, cost and quota control, honest states instead of polished answers.

  • Agent orchestration

    Human in the loop, binding approvals, MCP, LangGraph and observability.

  • Fullstack development

    TypeScript with Angular, React/Next.js and Node.js, Java and Spring Boot (since 2026) – plus Python and SQL.

  • Operations and security

    Deployment on AWS with Terraform (infrastructure as code) and GitHub Actions, maintenance windows, off-host backups with restore drills, monitoring and access control.

  • Data protection

    GDPR as part of the definition of done – legal texts move with every feature.
