Work experience & other qualifications

(recent & important first)

RTK Query creator & maintainer (2020-now)

toggle details

I created RTK Query, a data fetching & caching library to be used with Redux Toolkit. It is by now considered one of the "big three" REST api caching libraries in the React ecosystem, along with SWR and TanStack Query.

Redux Tookit maintainer (2019-now)

toggle details

As a member of the Redux team, I interact with users on Discord, StackOverflow, Reddit or in our issues on a daily basis. This includes helping users with questions, collecting feature requests and planning future apis with the team. I also implemented a large portion of the Redux Toolkit code base. A lot of focus has gone into the TypeScript types to give our users the best possible IDE experience (autocomplete, early errors). The library is often mentioned as an example for very state-of-the-art library types.

Senior FullStack + DevOps at Mayflower (2016-now)

toggle details

Currently I work in an agile team on a 14 year old project consisting of multiple applications - from modern React frontends and React Native apps over microservices to old php monoliths and Cordova Apps, working on all parts of that stack.

My most used technologies are:

Additionally I am part of the company-internal "Gruppe Dev" where we create an internal technology radar and work on educating our devs with current technologies.

I also consult other internal teams in whichever way I can - kickstarting projects, choosing technologies, teaching concepts and reviewing code & architecture.
