Work Experience

2019 — Now
Remote

As a freelancer I worked on multiple POCs for mobile (ReactNative) and web applications (React/NodeJS). I’m
also consulting businesses that work in the industry on using JavaScript frameworks for frontend development.

2019 — Now
Uzwil, Switzerland

I was hired by Buhler Group AG through Bluematic AG. There I am responsible for developing process
automations within the Azure DevOps platform. I’m also working in a team to unify frontend components in an
angular library.

2019 — 2020
Amsterdam, The Netherlands

My responsibilities included developing API’s using PHP (Symfony 4) and MySQL. During this time, I was
mentoring two interns. The biggest challenge at that time was building an App in React Native and a Front-end
for a large e-commerce site. I was also responsible for various DevOps tasks such as building CI and CD
automations.

2018 — 2019
Amsterdam, The Netherland

The main responsible was front-end development. One of my biggest achievements there was to implement a
new development stack (React, Redux, SASS, Webpack) and educating my coworkers on it.

2017 — 2017
Wil, Switzerland

Responsible for the development of a tool that allowed our customers to migrate data from different ERP
interfaces into the web-based platform, the company was developing at that time, without the need for a
redeployment. This allowed us to save a lot of hours spent by developers building new interfaces and
deploying the application on customer environments.

2013 — 2017
Wil, Switzerland

During my apprenticeship I was part of a SCRUM team with members in Poland and Switzerland. Together we
worked on a web-based platform for after sales services that is used by industrial customers. My
responsibilities included the mobile optimization of the platform, implementing new workflows and building
small data processing tools.
