01 Profile

I build the parts of a product people actually touch — and I care whether they hold.

Most of my work has been front-of-house on serious software: insurance risk workflows, crypto account linking, IoT fleet dashboards. The common thread is complexity that has to feel simple, and interfaces that stay correct under real data.

Currently senior frontend at Applied Systems, and finishing an MSc in Artificial Intelligence at JKU Linz. I work remotely from Austria with US and UK teams, and I care about accessibility, design systems, and code other people can maintain.
