Fullstack Developer

DAMALO GmbH

Own full-stack development of an AI-native enterprise platform built on TypeScript, React, Vite, tRPC, Hono, and PostgreSQL, delivering AI-powered consulting workflows to B2B clients.
Designed and shipped a multi-agent AI system using ReAct framework and Claude skills-style workflow patterns, including an intelligent PM assistant with rich system prompts, slash commands, tool integrations, and streaming chat UI.
Architected an LLM evaluation framework: rubric-based LLM-as-judge, golden datasets, regression testing, and automated quality gating — ensuring consistent AI output quality at scale.
Integrated LangFuse for end-to-end LLM tracing, conversation replays, and evaluation pipelines, enabling data-driven prompt optimisation that reduced token costs and response variance.
Built with Drizzle ORM, pgvector, and knowledge graphs for structured data access, semantic search, and relationship-aware AI reasoning across the platform.
Led TanStack React Query migration across the application — replacing manual state management with centralised caching and automatic refetching, reducing data-fetching boilerplate significantly.
Practiced AI-native development throughout: Claude Code, Codex, Perplexity SDK, and LLM-assisted testing across the full development lifecycle. Deployed on Vercel + Azure ACA with Biome for linting/formatting.

Robotics Compliance/Engineering Lead

Bearcover GmbH

Owned the technical roadmap and architecture for a patient-monitoring platform (robot, cloud, dashboards), aligning founders, ops, and engineering around measurable delivery milestones.
Led a 7-person cross-functional team (frontend/backend/embedded); set engineering standards, delivery cadence, hiring/onboarding, and unblocked execution end-to-end.
Shipped real-time telemetry and operations UX (Angular + TypeScript/JavaScript, WebSockets), achieving <100ms sensor-stream latency even under poor network conditions. Robot side powered by Flask API + WebSocket for ROS data streaming.
Established production fundamentals (CI/CD, test strategy, release discipline, health checks, alerting), reducing hardware incidents 15 → 3 in 6 months.
Built a human-in-the-loop AI improvement loop for radar-based patient-state detection (sleep/breathing/movement/falls), improving model performance ~30–40% in 2–3 months via correction→retrain triggers.
Led CE certification work (FMEA workshops, safety interlocks, technical documentation), ensuring audit-ready engineering in a regulated environment.
Adopted AI-native development workflows using Codex and Cursor agents for accelerated development and code review.
