Freelance AI/Fullstack Engineer
Berlin, Germany
Actions
I am a Software Engineer based in Berlin. I'm currently working as full-stack freelance software engineer working primarily on Typescript and Python projects.
I studied Computer Science at New York University where I earned a Bachelor's in Arts and Sciences. I interned for Spotify as a Backend Engineer working in Java and Adobe-Behance as a Front-End Engineer working in Javascript, HTML, and CSS. I also worked at NYU's Music and Audio Research Lab (MARL) working on an open source library called Librosa.
Since graduating I have worked as a Backend Engineer at Meetup working in Java and occassionally Scala. I then moved to Berlin to work for Ableton. I first worked in Developer Tools working on CI/CD Pipelines and Cloud Computing. Afterwards, I worked on the Live team working on prototyping for MIDI clip generation and pushing software improvements for musicians. I also worked at n8n where I worked as a Fullstack Engineer on projects related to AI, Community Nodes, and Form improvements.
Lately, I've been working with pre-seed to Series A startups in both Europe and the United States to launch, scale, and improve internal systems using LLMs, agents, and Claude.
I'm passionate about delivering high quality and well-written software and creating an empathetic and healthy team environment.
Outside of tech, I enjoy making ambient music, photography, food, and nonalcoholics.

Migrating a Design System with Claude
Claude has become a real collaborator for turning design into code — but "paste the Figma link and hope" is not a migration strategy. This session covers how we migrated a full design system in under two months with Claude, and what it actually took to make the output accurate.
We will walk through a working method: getting from Figma specs to production components, the necessary guardrails for models to prevent hallucination, and codifying design intent for both humans and models to read. We'll also cover how to sequence a migration around the constraints which matter to your company and your customers.
Target audience:
Frontend engineers, designers, and design leads. Assumes working familiarity with a component library and a design tool like Figma; Familiarity with Claude or other LLMs is preferred. Not a beginner talk on prompting.
