gridX GmbH

(August 2018 - July 2023)

Started as a junior developer and finished as a Senior Software Engineer. At gridX I was responsible for designing, building, monitoring and deploying APIs for the Web and IoT devices. The stack included event processing and data aggregation which were operated at scale - an indispensable asset to our customers. I’m used to working in a high responsibility environment and finding reliable solutions for the problems at hand. Lately we employed cloud based solutions e.g. AWS Lambda and StepFunctions to manage our workloads and scale effortlessly.

During the time at gridX I built several systems including Authentication, Access Management, Full text search, Event based communications and many more. My final contribution was the extraction of a component from a monolithic service. During this project I planned the required steps in close collaboration with the team and my manager, defined the necessary interfaces, compiled a plan with tangible success indicators for each phase and finally executed the plan with my team.

Attached my certificate of work (German).

Incomplete list of technologies I used:

  • Go
  • gRPC
  • Postgres
  • AWS
