PROFILE.
Summary
Senior Product Engineer working the full stretch from stakeholder interview to production deployment. Frontend: React, Vue, Next.js, Nuxt. Backend: Laravel, Quarkus, FastAPI, Node. Infra: Terraform on AWS/Azure, CI/CD with GitHub Actions.
Beyond using AI in my daily development, I build tooling for it. vlm-code-context-mcp on npm is an MCP server that gives AI coding agents structured access to codebases — 81 tools, ~40% median token reduction after multiple review steps on an adversarial 9-task benchmark, persistent sprint/retro memory so agents learn from past work.
Experience across a corporate (Zalando), a mid-sized civic-tech SaaS (DEMOS), and two startups (Housy/bewerbermappe.com, GALVANY). I care about what happens after deployment — what shipped, what changed for users, what the metrics show next sprint.
