Full-stack developer focused on system observability, performance engineering, and CI/CD automation. I build things, instrument them, break them on purpose, and watch what the metrics say.
observability-platform — a Docker Compose observability backend for my Authentication User Dashboard App: OpenTelemetry Collector routes metrics to Prometheus and traces to Tempo, visualized in Grafana with a live dashboard tracking RED metrics (throughput, p50/p95/p99 latency) and auth security events — logins, invalid credentials, CSRF blocks, rate-limit hits. Logs pipeline to Loki is wired but not yet fed by the app. Next: get logs flowing end-to-end, then a deliberate fault-injection phase — introduce a slow endpoint, watch the alert fire, observe the recovery.
Authentication-User-Dashboard-App — a production-style auth system, live on Render: JWT in httpOnly cookies, bcrypt, reCAPTCHA v2, email verification, Cloudinary CDN, double-submit CSRF protection, Redis-backed rate limiting, and Zod input validation. Covered by Playwright E2E tests running in GitHub Actions CI.
weweb-cloudflare-ci — a production CI/CD pipeline built for a family startup. 54-second end-to-end deploys with dependency caching, rollback visibility, and full commit traceability. Later open-sourced as the first public template for WeWeb + Cloudflare Pages.
- Building: wiring application logs into the observability stack, then a deliberate fault-injection phase to test alerting end-to-end
- Exploring: agentic coding tools (Claude Code and similar) in my own workflow — curious how much of the debug/instrument loop can be delegated vs. where it still needs a human
- Learning: OpenTelemetry · Prometheus · Grafana · TypeScript · C++
- Writing: dev.to posts on debugging, monitoring, and what the metrics actually mean
Looking for an internship or Werkstudent role starting summer 2027, ideally in Austria. Particularly interested in:
- Observability, APM, and platform engineering
- Backend performance and system health
- Full-stack development
- Teams where I can learn from experienced engineers while contributing something real
