Curious engineer exploringthe intersection oftechnology, art,and philosophy.

High-scale distributed systems at Sixt — and the AI workflows that ship software faster.

Recent projects

  • Offer Aggregator / Sixt

    A Kafka-based event scheduler that aggregates Sixt+ subscription offers across 700+ branches in 10 countries, with aggregation logic that removed the need for distributed locks entirely.

    15× less downstream API load · 16× lower latency (1.6s → 98ms)

    Kafka / Microservices / Java

    2024
  • Global Credit Check / Sixt

    An org-wide gRPC service integrating four international credit agencies behind one standardized interface. GDPR-compliant via region-isolated AWS Lambda + DynamoDB, using Factory/Facade patterns to abstract agency logic.

    30% latency reduction · Removed a US-region Salesforce dependency

    gRPC / AWS Lambda / DynamoDB

    2024
  • MCP Server & RCA Bot / Sixt

    A Model Context Protocol server exposing subscription-contract capabilities to AI agents, plus an RCA bot that automates root-cause analysis via dynamic Salesforce (SOQL) retrieval, log parsing, and Prometheus metrics.

    Significantly reduced MTTR

    MCP / AI Agents / Observability

    2025
  • Reservation Migration / Sixt

    Led the end-to-end architecture and migration of the subscription reservation system off an unsupported legacy monolith onto modern microservices, reverse-engineering legacy behavior and integrating payment authorization.

    28.9% lower mean latency · 34.2% lower P90 latency

About

I’m a backend-focused engineer at Sixt, where I design distributed microservices behind subscription products used across 10 countries — Kafka event pipelines, gRPC services, and AWS-backed systems built for scale and reliability.

Lately I’ve gone deep on AI engineering: building MCP servers, agentic workflows, and automation that turns product specs into shipped code. Off the clock I run a homelab and tinker with n8n.

Experience

  • Software Development Engineer I / Sixt

    Design and own distributed microservices for Sixt+ subscriptions across 10 countries — Kafka pipelines, gRPC services, AWS Lambda/DynamoDB — alongside on-call for 7 services and a set of AI-engineering initiatives.

    Jun 2023 — Present
  • SDE Intern / Sixt

    Automated code generation from API contracts, built Kafka integration test suites (coverage 37% → 43%), and drove org-wide mutation testing, resolving 800+ code smells and security issues.
