- Project Highlight (Proprietary & Independent): Engineering a private, high-performance Ultra-Low Latency Drop-in Platform for Shopware 6. Built completely from scratch without modifying the Shopware core, this custom environment tweaks infrastructure to the absolute limit—benchmarking at a blazing fast 95ms average TTFB (with a p95 of ~120ms) loaded with randomized demo datasets.*
- 📦 Ex-DevOps Lead @ MG Wesel GmbH (until Nov 2025)
Managed the standard Shopware infrastructure lifecycle, hosting environments, and internal tooling across three core areas:- Technical SEO & Process Management – Maintained platform architecture for Core Web Vitals, page speed, and crawlability while automating internal operations.
- Application Development – Designed and deployed scalable internal features and standard shop extensions.
- Systems Administration – Maintained high-availability, secure, and automated server environments.
*Note: Benchmarks represent local latency tests optimized to isolate and measure pure PHP execution and core database rendering performance inside the custom environment, independent of public network overhead.
