Full-stack developer
former risk analyst
I like making things simpler. I started coding with Python at university to automate repetitive Excel work, and that mindset eventually took me from financial risk analysis into full-stack development. Today I build simple, thoughtful products and obsess over the details most people miss.
intro
My career began in finance. I started out as a financial risk analyst in a very small company. Automation was essential and there was little room to hide behind process or hierarchy. That environment fostered independence and taught me to take initiative.
current role
Currently, I work as a full-stack developer in a company that is represented globally. I work once again within a small team that is developing a free web application to assist small businesses and startups with their management of intellectual property.
I enjoy shipping features, making quick iterations, and laughing while we try new things, break things, and improve as a team. Little bit of chaos keeps things interesting.
philosophy
My finance background shapes how I see software. In markets, nobody has perfect information. Prices move because people are constantly learning and adjusting. Building products feels the same to me.
As such, I focus on building solutions that favor a balance of clear constraints and flexibility. Markets and nature share a pattern: fractals . Complex structures emerge from simple rules.
In the end, I follow the mindset of getting something working quickly from A to B and then investing time to improve and polish it. Quick iteration beats perfect planning.
beyond code
When I'm not coding, you'll find me cycling through the Luxembourg countryside or tinkering with my home lab. I believe in continuous learning - currently exploring Rust and systems programming.
I'm also an avid reader of finance and economics, which informs how I think about building sustainable software products. The best code is code that doesn't need to be written.
