Senior Software Engineer (Full Stack)

Turning complex systems into products people rely on

I design and build web products for operations, finance, and government — owning the work from UI to APIs so complex systems stay reliable in production.

Case studies, not just screenshots

Real systems built for enterprise, government, and international clients — plus an open-source side project you can read line by line.

allesferien.de

School holidays, public holidays & bridge-day planner for Germany

A live German-language site covering school and public holidays for all 16 federal states, with a bridge-day calculator and subscribable calendar feeds. Fully static — no server, no database, no cookies.

Next.js 16TypeScriptTailwind CSS v4VitestOpenHolidays APIGitHub Actions
  • 200+ pages and 48 .ics calendar feeds generated at build time from a single data source
  • Bridge-day planner solves a 0/1 knapsack with merge correction to maximise days off for a given leave budget
  • 41 Vitest tests pin down messy holiday data — local-only holidays, duplicate entries, UTC date math, exclusive ICS end dates
  • Builds never touch the network: checked-in API snapshots mean an outage can't block a deploy; GitHub Actions ships over FTPS
