Full-stack developer
former risk analyst
I like making things simpler. I started coding with Python at university to automate repetitive Excel work, and that mindset eventually took me from financial risk analysis into full-stack development. Today I build simple, thoughtful products and obsess over the details most people miss.
intro
My career began in finance. I started out as a financial risk analyst in a very small company. Automation was essential and there was little room to hide behind process or hierarchy. That environment fostered independence and taught me to take initiative.
current role
Currently, I work as a full-stack developer at a global company. On this team I focus on frontend engineering with React and TypeScript. I also help on the .NET and Go backends and contribute to internal processes.
I enjoy shipping features and making quick iterations. I'd rather get something working from A to B and then invest time to polish it. Little bit of chaos keeps things interesting.
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 tradeoffs. Building products feels the same to me.
I like solving productivity problems. Software should align with workflows, not fight them. It should save people time so they can focus on creative work.
elsewhere
When I'm not coding, I'm cycling through Luxembourg. Road or gravel, depends on the day. Or I'm keeping up with financial markets. I also enjoy eating out with friends. Bit of a foodie.
Outside work I'm learning Rust. Building a personal financial application with it. On the frontend side I think a lot about flows and information hierarchy. Behavioral finance gives me a framework for it. Kahneman, Thaler, Thinking Fast and Slow. Understanding what matters to the person on the other side of the screen. That's where the depth is.
