As the lead software engineer at a small Berlin-based recruitment startup, I lead the development and maintenance of our web frontend and backend systems, administrate devops, and collaborate in the development of the project's roadmap. My responsibilities include:

• Designing and implementing customer facing features, in both the frontend (NuxtJs, TypeScript) and the backend (C#, ASP.NET, Entity Framework).
• Handling day to day technical tasks such as responding to error reports, providing technical assistance to other teams, fixing bugs and monitoring system logs.
• Develop integrations with external services such as Salesmate, Airtable, Chargebee and Twilio.
• Develop internal features to automate and streamline the work of other teams.
• Maintain hosting infrastructure: Provisioning and monitoring our Azure cloud infrastructure (e.g. App Services, Static Web Apps and SQL Server instances), administrating source control (on GitHub) and maintaining CI/CD automations.
• I constantly seek to improve code quality and system architecture for better performance and scalability.
• I have also facilitated in the adoption of structured, agile development workflows.

As a part of the product team I implemented improvements and bug fixes for the web, desktop (Electron), Android and iOS variants of the app using various languages and frameworks, namely: TypeScript/JavaScript, mithril (JS UI Library), ElectronJS, Swift, Kotlin, Java.

Worked on devops and had a role in improving the in-house build system for the app, as well as streamlining CI/CD in jenkins.

Was instrumental in improving development practices, such as participating in the introduction of scrum to the small team, and continually working on architectural improvements such as the modularisation of the codebase.
