Nx Experts in Germany

Procure Ai builds a procurement platform with tools to optimise purchasing and supplier management, delivering real-time analytics, cost-saving insights, and automated workflows. A common data model integrates and enriches data from multiple ERP and e-procurement systems including Ivalua, SAP, Coupa, WPS, and Jaggaer.

06/2025 – TODAY:

• Architecting and building a new AI-native procurement platform with document intelligence, an agent orchestration layer using Mastra and LLM-based workflow automation across supplier, intake and category management use-cases
• Shipped agentic engineering workflows across the development team, enabling LLM-assisted code generation and review automation, measurably reducing cycle time on repetitive development tasks
• Migrating the Design System from Material UI to shadcn/ui with Tailwind, improving consistency and reducing frontend build overhead
• Staying hands-on across frontend, backend and AI features while the engineering team grew from 10 to 20+ engineers: hiring, onboarding, 1:1s and mentoring

06/2020 – 06/2025:

• Joining as the first engineer after the two founders; shaping platform architecture and product vision from scratch in close collaboration with the CTO, growing the platform to serve 10 enterprise customers
• Leading fullstack feature development on the core procurement platform, with focus on Analytics, Search, and Autonomous Negotiations use-cases: defining MVP scope, aligning technical decisions to customer outcomes, and cutting work that wasn't delivering value
• Challenged a field-based configuration request for Autonomous Negotiations and instead built a node-based rule builder matching how category managers think in conditions and branches; later reused across other workflow and decision configuration use-cases
• Designing and implementing multi-tenant authentication and fine-grained authorisation based on organisational units
• Architecting and building a multi-tenant Admin Application for managing customer installations across environments, covering configuration, feature flags, and i18n
• Creating and maintaining a custom Design System built on Material UI, used across the full product
• Setting up and maintaining CI/CD pipeline and full QA suite (linting, unit, integration, and e2e testing)
• Architecting and implementing a multi-environment release process using Helm and Helmfile; owning infrastructure as code across AWS and Azure
• Researching and piloting new tools and frameworks; making build-vs-buy decisions to balance velocity, cost, and long-term maintainability
• Grew the engineering team from 4 to 10+ engineers, mentoring engineers and building a culture of ownership, code review and iterative delivery

Co-founded a software agency building custom web and cross-platform products. I owned the technical decisions across the whole portfolio and led 12 people, while carrying delivery planning, process and client relationships for 11 clients across 3 industries.

• Technical leadership: owned the technical decisions for the codebase across every project — stack, architecture, code conventions and the tooling the team worked with — and led the developers on how work got built through code reviews, pair programming and mentoring across a team ranging from junior to senior, keeping the codebase coherent as the portfolio and the team grew

• Delivery planning against the financial plan: built the company's financial plan and derived from it the billable hours each developer had to reach per month and the hours each project could absorb to stay within budget; planned capacity and scope against those figures and negotiated budgets and delivery dates directly with clients

• Client ownership: technical contact across the portfolio — requirements gathering and prioritisation, scoping and estimates, timeline communication, budget negotiation, and consistent transparency throughout delivery

• Team and people: owned the hiring and interview process end to end and took responsibility for offboarding where it was needed; designed an onboarding that got new developers productive within 1–2 days; cleared blockers daily and kept a close eye on where effort was creating value and where it was not

• Process ownership: consolidated a micro-service landscape spread over 15+ repositories into a single monorepo, cutting backend development time by ~40% and simplifying releases for 6 engineers; set up deployment pipelines with GitHub Actions and GitLab CI; ran retrospectives and turned the feedback into concrete changes; introduced AI agents into day-to-day development

• Delivered short-staffed: when the team shrank from 8 developers to 2, restructured scope, introduced AI-assisted development to hold the schedule and took on Go backend work alongside my own frontend scope

• Architecture and code: defined the architecture for every project in the portfolio — the structure the rest of the team built within — and wrote roughly 90% of the frontend code myself, from SSR applications with Next.js and Remix to cross-platform apps with Capacitor

• From zero to production: took a practice management platform — administration, inventory, integrated online shop, chat messenger — from an empty repository to production. Live in 7 markets with at least 7 more coming up, serving tens of thousands of users

• Delivery under pressure: built and shipped a replacement online shop for a Fortune 250 client in 4 days, restoring order intake while their global shops had been offline for several weeks

• Design system: built a cross-project design system used across 7 products, so new projects and features started from a shared, consistent base

• Cross-platform and real-time: built iOS and Android apps with Capacitor for a client live event with 1,000+ participants — web sockets and push notifications for real-time content, Stripe payments supporting PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cards

• Developed a new iOS access-control scanning app for security/gate staff to validate RFID wristbands/badges in real time
• Implemented an online/offline hybrid architecture: scans are first checked against the API, with a fallback to local SQLite data in case of network issues, including complete access policy evaluation (zone, direction, scan limits)
• Developed a native iOS RFID bridge: connected the proprietary RFID SDK (QuantumSDK) via a custom Expo Config Plugin + Native Module; integrated LineaPro Bluetooth scanner hardware
• Implemented real-time updates via WebSocket (Pusher protocol), including private-channel authentication and reconnect with exponential backoff for device-/gate-/event-based configuration changes
• Designed a 3-level persistence setup (Keychain/MMKV/SQLite) for secure credentials, high-performance state and offline-capable scan/credential data
• Implemented incremental credential sync (Cursor + updated_after) as well as batch upload of scan logs after reconnect to ensure consistent data in field operations

Cross-brand design system

Focus: Analysis of the causes of recurring layout deviations in design system components. The cause was the integration of visual regression tests (BackstopJS) into the build and approval process: deviations were not blocked, and reference images were replaced without approval.

Recommendations for a controlled workflow with mandatory approval and test results as a prerequisite for merging. Contributed to the successor system based on Lit/Web Components.
