Profile

Software Engineer and 42-Berlin campus graduate specializing in cross-platform mobile architecture (Kotlin Multiplatform, Swift/SwiftUI) and applied AI pipelines (Vision-Language Models, Computer Vision). Backed by 8 years of operational leadership, I combine low-level systems engineering (C/C++, Docker) with privacy-first application design (Local-First, Edge AI) to build scalable, production-ready software. C1 German speaker with a track record of rapid execution under pressure.

Projects
Mend, Native iOS Wellness App
  • •Tech Stack: SwiftUI, MVVM, SwiftData, URLSession, Cloudflare Workers.
  • •Engineered a privacy-focused, local-first wellness application featuring mood tracking, journaling, and interactive grounding tools, architected cleanly using the MVVM design pattern.
  • •Integrated AI-powered conversational reflections via the OpenAI API, routed through a custom Cloudflare Workers secure backend proxy to protect user privacy and prevent sensitive data exposure.

    • Swifty-Companion, Native iOS App
  • •Tech Stack: Swift 6, SwiftUI, MVVM, OAuth2, URLSession, Keychain.
  • •A native iOS application built to visualize student progression and real-time campus data via the 42 Network API.
  • •The app features secure OAuth2 authentication managed through Apple's Keychain, asynchronous image caching via Kingfisher, and is architected using the MVVM pattern.
    • Inception (Dockerized Infrastructure)
  • •Tech Stack: Docker, Docker Compose, Nginx, WordPress, MariaDB, Virtualization, Linux
  • •Built a custom multi-container system architecture using Docker, Docker Compose, Nginx (TLS/SSL), WordPress, and MariaDB with isolated networking, persistent storage, and zero pre-made images.
    • Minishell (Unix Shell Implementation)
  • •Tech Stack: C, Unix System Calls, Signals, Process Management
  • •Re-created a lightweight, fully functional Bash-like Unix shell in C.
