I'm an iOS Developer at a Munich-based FinTech company, building production apps used daily by wealth management firms and their clients across Germany and Austria. My primary framework is UIKit, complemented by growing experience in SwiftUI. I hold a B.Sc. in Information Systems from the Technical University of Munich.
My main project is the company's flagship wealth management platform — a hybrid iOS app that wraps a complex financial web application in a carefully engineered native shell. This architecture lets advisors manage client portfolios across accounts, ETFs, hedge funds, and bonds aggregated from multiple banks, communicate via in-app messaging, email, SMS, and MiFID-compliant recorded video calls, and maintain detailed client records — while I ensure the experience feels genuinely native through Face ID, Keychain, push notifications, and deep linking. I also develop the company's fully native UIKit multi-factor authentication app, giving users a secure in-app alternative to SMS-based login.
On the DevOps side, I own the entire release pipeline for 65+ individually branded white-label apps — each published under its own App Store account with a custom icon, color scheme, and name. Using Fastlane, I automate every step: building, code signing, uploading to App Store Connect, managing per-app metadata, submitting for review, and triggering releases. I also bring a solid full-stack background from working with Angular, Spring Boot, Node.js, and Docker — giving me a broad perspective when bridging mobile and backend systems.

Experience
My professional journey
- ▸Developing two production iOS apps in Swift and UIKit: a hybrid wealth management platform used by financial advisors and their clients, and a fully native multi-factor authentication app.
- ▸Engineering the native iOS shell around the company's core FinTech web application — integrating Face ID, Keychain, push notifications, and deep linking so a complex financial platform feels genuinely native on iPhone.
- ▸Building the MFA app entirely in UIKit, providing users with secure in-app approval requests as an alternative to SMS-based login codes.
- ▸Owning the end-to-end release pipeline for 65+ white-label apps with Fastlane — automating per-target builds, code signing, App Store Connect uploads, per-app metadata, review submissions, and releases.
- ▸Contributed to Artemis, an open-source educational platform used by thousands of students.
- ▸Improved and optimized the notification system to increase user engagement.
- ▸Implemented learning analytics features supporting adaptive learning paths and progress tracking.
- ▸Reviewed pull requests and maintained code quality standards.
- ▸Developed the full-stack operator platform for SIEAERO — a drone-based overhead power line inspection system that captures RGB, infrared, UV, and 3D point-cloud data to feed an AI defect-detection pipeline.
- ▸Built the complete data ingestion and results review workflow: operators upload drone data, trigger AI processing, then assess detected findings — adjusting severity ratings, removing false positives, and manually adding any missed defects.
- ▸Implemented automated PDF report generation consolidating all verified findings, enabling field teams to perform targeted repairs instead of manually inspecting entire power line routes.
- ▸Integrated the AI processing service as a Docker container into the application stack and contributed to automated recognition of power line components (pylons, conductor cables).
Projects
Things I've built
Portfolio Website
My personal developer portfolio — built with Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS. Designed with a focus on clean UI, responsive layout, dark mode, and bilingual (EN/DE) support.
AR Remote Assistance App
iOS app enabling on-site engineers to connect with remote experts via AR-assisted video calls. Features AR annotations, drawing tools, pose guidance, gaze tracking, 3D reconstruction, and Apple Pencil support. Built in collaboration with Siemens.
AR Navigation for Elderly
Bachelor thesis: an augmented reality navigation app designed for elderly people. Evaluated usability and effectiveness of AR interfaces for senior users.
SixtMixed
Winner of the hackaTUM 2019 SIXT Challenge. A calendar integration for SIXT mobile apps that solves the problem of mostly empty car-sharing vehicles by pooling customers with similar destinations.
Rooftop Runner
A 2D Jump 'n' Run game with procedural generation of the map and enemies. Features various items, enemy types, and strategies to defeat them.
