A frontend engineer on an AI-focused path. I build clean, fast interfaces and the tools behind them, and I use AI to automate the repetitive work so teams can ship better products sooner. Currently at Mercedes-Benz R&D.

About

An engineer who finds operational friction, defines the fix, and ships it to production at enterprise scale.

For 3+ years at Mercedes-Benz Research & Development I've worked on API governance, developer tooling and secrets-management infrastructure, alongside engineering, security and platform teams. Lately I've been focused on AI-assisted workflows and developer experience.

Next, I want to move into product management. I'd bring an engineer's understanding of how systems work and keep the focus on measurable business outcomes.

  • Played a key role in an RPA-based MFA authentication platform.

Worked with security and infrastructure teams to take it to an enterprise-scale pilot with one of the largest internal user groups.
  • Defined and implemented API governance standards for Bot User lifecycle management (creation, modification, deletion). Automated workflows replaced manual, error-prone processes.
  • Worked with platform and DevOps engineers across the full development lifecycle to deliver new infrastructure components for a flagship product.
  • Integrated developer workflows with HashiCorp Vault to enforce secrets management and token-based access control across microservices without slowing developers down.
