About

Aspiring Software Engineer | Backend & Systems | Java, Spring Boot, TypeScript

I’m a Software Engineering student at the University of Zurich, currently finishing my Bachelor’s thesis and completing my final ECTS.

Before my studies, I completed a vocational training as a system administrator in Germany, which gave me a strong foundation in systems, infrastructure, and problem-solving. During my studies, I transitioned into software development, with a clear focus on backend engineering.

I have hands-on experience from a Full-Stack Software Engineering internship, mainly working on backend services using Java, Spring Boot, and Docker, and first experience with TypeScript on the frontend.

I’m looking for a software engineering internship (from June 2026, 3+ months) or a working-student position alongside my Master’s studies at ETH Zurich. I’m especially interested in backend-heavy, product-driven startup environments where I can learn quickly and contribute meaningfully.
