Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer

Aug 2020 — Present

Freiburg im Breisgau

Long-term product development across an Electron desktop launcher, Android/VR application, shared Rust SDK, and React administration and analytics portal.

Responsibilities and technologies
  • Joined as an AI Software Engineer; subsequently moved into full-stack product engineering and the current senior role.

Selected engineering work

Selected work at realworld one.

Desktop download migration to Rust

Download queues, pause/resume, persistence, and recovery in a shared SDK.
Problem
Desktop downloads used a legacy TypeScript pipeline, while Android used the Rust SDK. Moving desktop to the shared engine required preserving existing download behavior and UI state.
Responsibility
Led the desktop migration and integrated the SDK with the Electron and React application.
Engineering approach
Connected generated IPC/FFI bindings, queue control, pause/resume, persistence, archive processing, and progress/error mapping. Paired the migration with targeted tests and feature-flagged rollout.
Outcome
Implemented the shared-engine desktop integration and the recovery and UI behavior needed for a controlled rollout.

Technologies

  • Rust
  • TypeScript
  • Electron
  • React
  • IPC / FFI

Authentication and session recovery

Coordinating state after network loss, token expiry, and application resume.
Problem
Network interruptions, expired tokens, and overlapping login/logout operations could leave SDK and application state out of sync.
Responsibility
Hardened recovery across the Rust SDK, Android/WebView application, and desktop client.
Engineering approach
Coordinated asynchronous authentication state, guarded against stale work, and made recovery transitions explicit across platform boundaries. Added targeted regression coverage.
Outcome
Improved session recovery and consistency between SDK authentication state and the application UI.

Technologies

  • Rust
  • Android
  • WebView
  • TypeScript
  • OAuth / OIDC
  • Auth0

Android startup and desktop updates

Diagnosing production failures across native and desktop application layers.
Problem
Blocking SDK initialization caused intermittent Quest 3S startup ANRs. Separately, the desktop updater could treat a transport failure as a valid release-check result.
Responsibility
Investigated the incidents, identified root causes, and implemented fixes across the affected layers.
Engineering approach
Moved SDK initialization off the Android UI thread. Added strict 2xx response validation, explicit failure states, bounded retries, and richer update diagnostics.
Outcome
Removed blocking initialization from the startup path and distinguished failed update checks from valid release results.

User Access Management analytics

Company and user analytics with large datasets and responsive interfaces.
Problem
Administration workflows needed usable views of usage, sessions, seats, countries, and feedback across company and user datasets.
Responsibility
Developed React and TypeScript analytics interfaces and their data flows.
Engineering approach
Implemented charts, large tables, filtering, session/seat history, ratings, CSV exports, and mobile layouts. Optimized React Query fetching and table behavior.
Outcome
Delivered company- and user-level analytics with exportable data and responsive access to detailed usage records.

AI-assisted development

I use Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and OpenAI Codex for code exploration, implementation, debugging, testing, and documentation. Generated code still needs review, tests, and validation against actual application behavior.
