Work Experience

Aachen

In December 2019 I co-founded MIA which develops MIA Mobility Platform, a mobility-data analysis software. Whether it's smart redistribution, trip evaluation, station placement, predictive maintenance or incentive systems, our software helps companies and cities get the most out of their data through various built-in modules. This allows planning operations and verify the impact of decisions.

As a Mobile Engineering Working Student at Liefery, my main areas of responsibility is redevelopment of the Liefery Courier app in the Flutter programming language. As the last team member on the team that worked on the previous Courier App written in Scala, I also regularly cross-check implementation details between the two versions. In addition, I spent a lot of time writing and improving tooling for the team, developing continuous delivery and testing pipelines.
