I’m a Senior Software Engineer living in Berlin. Shifting limits based on quality and robustness. Cutting edge software development. Defining durable and flexible interfaces. Creating rich and intuitive user experiences.

Values

I strive for excellence, precision, and depth—in my work as well as in interpersonal interactions. I believe that quality is not born out of compromise but through accuracy, well-founded knowledge, and consistently upholding high standards. Integrity, reliability, and transparency are core values for me—I keep my promises and expect the same from others. Learning by doing is essential to me. I follow a self-directed growth path by trying things out, deeply understanding them, and learning from mistakes. Superficial conversations or theoretical speculations without practical relevance quickly cause me to disengage—I seek substance and meaning in what I do.

Responsibility and fairness shape my actions. I value people who are willing to take responsibility, learn from their mistakes, and take quality seriously. I believe in a culture of mutual support—enabling others rather than controlling them. In collaboration, I prefer clear and factual communication. Emotional exaggeration, vagueness, or imprecision are disruptive to me. I appreciate people who communicate openly, respectfully, and rationally—without theatrics. My communication style is direct and honest, which can sometimes be uncomfortable, but it always serves the greater purpose.

Motivation and Working Style

Technical depth and order are motivating for me. I’m curious, driven to understand how things work, and I use my analytical thinking to create sustainable, well-considered solutions. My high level of conscientiousness and strong need for structure and clarity support me in this. I’m especially interested in tools, systems, and processes that are thoughtfully designed, transparent, and extensible. Despite being introverted, I work well in teams—in my own way: quietly, observantly, and through substance rather than volume. I contribute best in fact-based discussions and well-grounded decisions. I’m not a “small talk” person but prefer to offer thoughtful input at the right moment.

As a team member or leader, I bring reliability, critical thinking, a strong attention to detail, and the ability to bring clarity to complex situations. I hold myself and others to high standards and am willing to take responsibility when I’m convinced of the purpose. I thrive in an environment that offers autonomy, intellectual challenge, and access to relevant information.

What Moves Me

My key internal drivers (Moving Motivators) are:

  1. Mastery – the desire to continuously improve
  2. Order – the need for clarity and structure
  3. Curiosity – the drive to understand and explore
  4. Honor – my commitment to integrity and loyalty
  5. Acceptance – the desire to be valued as I am within a team

I’m not easily satisfied—and that is my strength. I set high standards, persevere, challenge ideas critically, and bring projects to completion with a strong focus on quality. My contribution to a team is not loud but essential: thoughtful, analytical, and principled.

The Evolution of Values

Values are not static—they grow and evolve over time as we encounter new experiences and perspectives. I believe in regularly reflecting on and refining my core principles to ensure they remain aligned with my actions and goals. This living nature of values allows me to adapt thoughtfully while staying grounded in what truly matters, fostering both personal growth and meaningful collaboration.
