At PlanRadar, I already had the opportunity to leave my mark and make an impact, e.g. in the following areas:

• Stepping into unclear areas, aligning people, and turning messy requirements into working systems
• Ownership and delivery of complex, multi-phase features, often crossing frontend/backend boundaries to keep things moving
• Took responsibility for engineering foundations (CI/CD, testing, observability), making releases faster, safer, and less stressful for everyone
• Consistently reduced friction in the system - whether in code, tooling, or collaboration
• Mentored and onboarded engineers, helped people get unstuck, and contributed to technical alignment between departments
• Currently operating with many lead-like responsibilities (ownership, coordination, technical direction), and actively looking to take that to the next level

Stack: React, TypeScript, Node.js, AWS, Docker, Rails, CI/CD

I'm a builder at heart. I like making things, whether they're genuinely useful or just make someone's day a bit better. I try to keep a balance between quality and speed, basically keeping things moving without letting them turn into a mess later. I think a lot about how things *feel* to use, not just how they're implemented, and I'm always drawn to systems that don't fight the people working with them.

I like figuring things out with others as most good ideas don't show up fully formed, they kind of emerge from talking, trying, adjusting. I'm not chasing perfect solutions, I'm more into momentum, iterating, and slowly shaping something into place until it just… works.

Since I mentioned I like building things, here are a couple of the projects currently keeping me busy outside of work.

UNPROMPTED - Small-scale, local, independet art project

UNPROMPTED is a spare-time art project exploring clothing, narrative, and physical things outside conventional brand logic. It is intended as a platform for independent artists to come together and contribute to a shared world through storyline, visual direction, and clothing design. I'm building it as an independent thing that combines creative direction, systems thinking, and hands-on tasks (screenprinting) that keep me occupied. The project has a strong focus on the independent artist community in Vienna.

I'm part of the peer counselling team at the Türkis Rosa Lila Wien - a queer community space in Vienna that's been around since the 80s and still operates a bit outside the usual system. I do counselling sessions there, which mostly means showing up, listening, and trying to be useful without pretending to have all the answers. In parallel, I take care of the website and some internal (web) tools, because even in spaces built around people, things still break and need fixing. It's a bit of a mix between human work and technical work. Structure and chaos. That's kind of why I like it. It's one of the few places where what you build and how you show up both matter in very direct ways.

Tech-guidance for a project of friends of mine

SUPA is a project by friends of mine. A mix of nostalgic chaos, queer storytelling, and sometimes unhinged humor built around photo love stories and a podcast format. They're basically reinterpreting old-school teen magazine stories in a way that's both homage and parody, with their own characters, narratives, and vibe. I built the website and the story viewer that powers the whole thing, and still help out with the occasional technical bits behind the scenes. It's very much their creative space — I just make sure it actually works and doesn't fall apart when people use it.

• Building UNPROMPTED and figuring out what it wants to become
• Trying to get better at making pizza of which the crust is mostly air
• Going to small concerts and pretending I discovered the band first obv I did, i got their merch before it was cool
• Slowly accumulating more plants than I can realistically take care of

• Noisy guitar > Perfectly mastered track
• Screenprinting > Digital printing
• Alocasias > Pothos
• Rolling vibe checks > Sticking to the rules *cough* DnD rules are too complicated *cough*
