Featured projects

Projects I've built and can speak to in depth — architecture, trade-offs, and what I'd do differently.

Completed

OrderFlow

An event-driven, distributed order-processing backend built around asynchronous Kafka messaging, with PostgreSQL and Redis for persistence. Runs in a fully containerized local/CI environment, with integration tests against real Kafka and PostgreSQL via Testcontainers, RFC 7807 problem-details error handling, and English/German technical documentation.
