My career so far

From “I know nothing” to “I know how little I know”.

  1. Senior PHP Developer

    since 2022real media technic STAUDACHER GmbHNuremberg / remote
    • Key role in stabilizing, debugging, and modularizing scoopOS, the company’s in-house DAM system built on Laravel.
    • Introduced automated testing with PHPUnit to safeguard code quality for the long run and prevent regressions.
    • Helped bring a project that had been delayed for years to a clean finish. Including the meticulous analysis and migration of hundreds of data points from a legacy system, in close coordination with the client.
    • Since 2024, a driving force behind the concept, architecture, and implementation of a PIM inside the existing DAM system.
    • The one who gets the bugs that refuse to be reproduced. Usually deep in the core, and rarely where you would look first.
