About

I was born in 1996 in Germany and am a native German speaker. I also speak English. I started coding at the age of 10-12 (VB.Net, HTML, Batch...), so tech and programming have been my world for over a decade. PHP has always been my go-to language, often paired with MySQL/MariaDB. I’ve focused heavily on Symfony and am now exploring and mastering Laravel, while recently diving into Alpine.js and Livewire.

I love challenges and enjoy exploring clean code, clean architecture, and design patterns. My true passion is combining all of these concepts with pragmatic approaches. I also have solid experience in cloud hosting and AWS, with Hetzner being my main provider, which I’m very satisfied with.

I started my professional journey as a retail sales clerk (“Einzelhandelskaufmann”) and completed my vocational training (“Ausbildung”) at another company. Later, as a career changer (“Quereinsteiger”), I joined chargecloud GmbH. I began as a Junior Developer, progressed to Medior, then Senior, and now serve as Tech Lead, where I guide the company toward a stable and future-proof architecture, mentor employees, and drive the main technical initiatives.

In addition, I’ve run a successful niche game server hosting business, completed multiple freelance projects, and currently run dopo.dev, a small Germany-focused freelance business. I’m also working on a few side projects that are still in their early stages and am always open to new challenges and opportunities.

Outside of work, I love traveling and wandering with our camping caravan, sharing adventures with my wife, daughter, our dog, and a few cats. Turning ideas into results and tackling challenges head-on is what drives me - whether in code or in life.
