I like to build things. What I enjoy most is the practical side of development: writing code, building prototypes, and taking an idea into the real world to see what works (and what doesn’t).

Having spent over 8 years in small, self-organized teams, I’m used to handling the structural side as well. I like thinking about how systems are wired together and how teams can work with them day to day. My current focus lies in C# (Unity/Desktop) and the modern web stack (React/TypeScript).

Current Projects⌗

Modular Management Simulation (Unity / C#)⌗

A data-driven economic simulation in a pixel-art style. The main challenge here is decoupling the simulation logic from the engine’s visualization.

Architecture & Testing I’m using Service Patterns to decouple sub-systems. The logic runs independently and is validated via an automated headless test suite. This allows me to verify complex economic data without having to play through the game manually.

Simulation Preview

matchpicks.de (React / TypeScript)⌗

A full-stack web platform built from the ground up—covering everything from the initial system architecture and state management to deployment.

Frontend Architecture Implemented a scalable component structure in React. I focus on a strict separation between the UI layer and business logic to ensure the project remains maintainable as it grows.
