About Me

I'm a Full-Stack Developer and Cloud Architect with 4+ years of experience building production serverless platforms on AWS. I currently operate three platforms simultaneously: an e-commerce marketplace with 80+ Lambda Functions and 14+ async event subscribers, an AI-powered EdTech SaaS with GPT-4o streaming and semantic search, and a DaaS platform on DynamoDB with AWS Bedrock AI and a published npm SDK. Previously studied Physics Engineering (USACH) and Systems Engineering (Saarland University, Germany), where I lived for 7 years.
