I'm a Python Developer passionate about building efficient, scalable solutions and automating complex workflows. My focus is on backend development, cloud-native applications, and leveraging AI to enhance processes. I enjoy transforming manual tasks into streamlined automated systems and continuously exploring new ways to optimize performance and developer experience. Currently, I'm also expanding my skills into C programming to explore my interest in embedded systems. Native German and English speaker.

Here's a look at the kind of work I excel at, enjoy, and am currently exploring:

I build robust and scalable backend applications, primarily using Python, Django, and FastAPI. My experience includes:

• Developing complex API-driven services and microservice architectures.
• Implementing asynchronous task processing with Celery to handle intensive operations without impacting user experience, significantly improving application responsiveness under load.
• Designing and managing various databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB).

I have a knack for identifying bottlenecks and automating manual processes.

• Reduced manual workloads by ~60% in various projects by developing custom Python scripts and automation tools.
• Engineered ETL pipelines for data extraction, transformation, and loading, improving data accessibility and reporting accuracy.
• Saved ~10 hours of manual effort per week on data processing tasks through targeted automation.

I'm experienced in creating and maintaining efficient development-to-production pipelines and leveraging cloud infrastructure.

• Designing and implementing robust CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, leading to ~70% faster release cycles.
• Expertise in Docker for containerization, including multi-stage builds and creating optimized DevContainer setups for consistent development environments.
• Deploying and managing applications on AWS (utilizing Lambda, S3, API Gateway, DynamoDB for serverless architectures) and other cloud platforms.

I'm enthusiastic about integrating AI to create innovative solutions.

• Successfully integrated Stability AI and ComfyUI for advanced AI image generation, enabling automated text-to-image workflows that increased content output by ~1000% in a creative asset management context.
• Developed systems for intelligent template-based generation and metadata extraction for AI processing pipelines.

I believe in building reliable software through rigorous testing.

• Championing Test-Driven Development (TDD) practices using Pytest.
• Implementing comprehensive end-to-end workflow testing with tools like Playwright.

I'm committed to ongoing skill development and exploring new technological frontiers.

• Currently deepening my understanding of hardware interaction and low-level programming by learning C with a focus on embedded systems.
