Kraemer
Full-stack developer
former risk analyst
I like making things simpler. I started coding with Python in university to automate Excel work, and that mindset eventually carried me from financial risk analysis into full-stack development. Today I build thoughtful products and obsess over the details most people miss.
intro
My career began in finance as a financial risk analyst at a boutique firm. In a small company, automation was essential, and there was no room to hide behind process or hierarchy. That environment fostered independence and taught me to take initiative and solve problems with code early on.
current role
Currently, I’m a full-stack developer at a global company. While my day-to-day focuses heavily on frontend engineering with React and TypeScript, I also jump into our .NET and Go backends and help streamline internal processes.
I love shipping features and iterating quickly. I'd rather get a feature working from A to B first and then invest time to polish it. Navigating that early uncertainty is where the most valuable insights are found.
philosophy
My finance background shapes how I see software. In markets, nobody has perfect information. Prices move because people are constantly learning and adjusting. Things aren't binary. It's risk versus reward. Every decision has trade-offs. Building products feels exactly the same.
I’m drawn to solving productivity problems. Software should align with human workflows, not fight them. It should save people time so they can focus on creative work.
elsewhere
When I'm not coding, I'm usually cycling through Luxembourg. It's either road or gravel, depending on the day. Otherwise, I'm keeping up with financial markets or checking out the local food scene with friends.
Outside of work, I’m learning Rust by building a personal financial TUI. On the frontend side, I think a lot about user flows and information hierarchy. Behavioral finance gives me a great framework for this, especially the work of Kahneman and Thaler in Thinking, Fast and Slow. Ultimately, it's about understanding the psychology of the person on the other side of the screen. That’s where the real depth is.
Interested in working together or just want to talk shop? I'm always open to discussing new projects and opportunities.
