I've been into professional software engineering since 2009 with focus on mobile apps in iOS and experience in various industries (travel, gaming, enterprise consulting).
Working in solo environments as well as larger teams I have been in all kinds of company sizes and types such as agencies, start-ups and enterprise.
A selection of previous projects and work.

As DevOps engineer I helped the client to deploy multi cloud infrastructure in a compliance-critical environment. Design, development and deployment was realized via tested units of Terraform modules ('blueprints'). The testing was implemented in InSpec with additional Azure SDK-based tests in RSpec.
Research spike to explore future usage of HealthKit and Siri capabilities (via SiriKit and Siri Shortcuts) for the FiTS app. Focus on HealthKit was reading and using existing data to personalize the user experience without the need of submitting data to a remote server.

Research sprint for a supporting application of a medical deviceto monitor blood sugar levels. Focus was on research ways to reliably contact care persons (e.g. parents) on their mobile device when the measured blood values exceed a certain threshold. Another task was laying groundwork (serverless environment via Parse) for a hand-over to the Two Bulls colleagues to implement the app.
Development of an iPad app for an interactive installation to be used by potential students in
the stores. Users 'picked' courses via a gesture on a TV screen and threw them towards
an iPad located next to the installation. The devices were used to provide further information
and pick up required information from the students.
