I am a Research Associate and University Lecturer for Programming and Distributed Systems at Pforzheim University, where I contribute to both Bachelor's and Master's level teaching in the Department of Digital Business Management. I am especially interested in backend development, microservices, and RESTful architectures, and I enjoy helping students build practical, real-world skills in software engineering.

Outside the academic sphere, I run a small business providing project management and webmaster services, maintaining over 50 client websites powered by WordPress. I enjoy combining technology and strategy to deliver well-managed digital platforms for diverse professional sectors.

I currently focus on:

• 🌱 Java-based microservices with Quarkus and Jakarta REST
• 🛠 Static site generation using HUGO with the Hextra theme
• 📦 Experimenting with Docker for containerised deployment
• ✍ Writing structured technical content in Markdown
• 💻 Developing clean and accessible web experiences using PHP, SQL, CSS, and HTML

• 📘 Teaching methodologies for programming and distributed systems
• 🧩 Building modular architectures and RESTful APIs
• 🌍 Running and scaling CMS-based websites (especially WordPress)
• 🚀 Enabling digital transformation in academia and business through open source tools
• 📚 Creating meaningful educational resources for students and developers
