Computer Science
As a passionate advocate for open source software and a university lecturer since the beginning of this decade, I bring a unique perspective to the intersection of academia and industry.
My courses in web development, software engineering, and computer science for economics are designed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application. By integrating cutting-edge industry practices into the curriculum, I prepare the next generation of software engineers to tackle the complex challenges of tomorrow's digital landscape.
At Leibniz Fachhochschule (LFH) in Hannover, Germany, I've pioneered a course on Social Engineering, addressing a critical yet often overlooked aspect of cybersecurity. This innovative program equips students with the knowledge and ethical framework to protect themselves and their future employers from sophisticated social manipulation tactics. By focusing on real-world scenarios and practical defense strategies, I ensure that graduates are well-prepared to navigate the human element of cybersecurity in their professional careers.
In my role as a lecturer for Web Development at DHBW Stuttgart, I lead students through an immersive exploration of modern web technologies, frameworks, and software architecture concepts. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a deep understanding of foundational principles while keeping pace with the rapidly evolving tech ecosystem. Through hands-on projects and real-world case studies, I challenge students to think critically about scalability, performance, and user experience – skills that are invaluable in today's competitive tech industry.

Professional Approach
Throughout my career, I've been guided by the philosophies and innovations of industry pioneers. These principles form the foundation of my approach to software architecture and digital transformation:
Robert C. Martin — Clean Code
Robert C. Martin's 'Clean Code' methodology has been foundational in shaping my approach to software craftsmanship. His principles demonstrate how code readability directly impacts long-term maintainability and system evolution.
The practical application of Martin's clean code principles in my work has proven essential for building sustainable codebases, particularly in complex enterprise environments where code clarity becomes a critical factor for project success.
These principles have been especially valuable in my academic work, forming a core part of how I teach sustainable software development practices to computer science students at DHBW Stuttgart.
Eric Evans — Domain-Driven Design
Eric Evans' Domain-Driven Design has fundamentally shaped my approach to software architecture, particularly in complex enterprise environments. His work provides a sophisticated framework for managing complexity through strategic design.
The ubiquitous language concept from DDD has been instrumental in my methodology for aligning technical implementation with business domains, especially in microservices and SaaS architectures.
Working with DDD principles has enabled me to develop more elegant solutions for complex business problems, particularly when integrating with existing enterprise systems.
Uncle Bob — SOLID Principles
The SOLID principles represent core architectural concepts that I regularly apply in both my professional work and academic teaching. These principles form the foundation of reliable, maintainable software architecture.
In my experience developing enterprise systems, SOLID principles have proven essential for creating flexible architectures that can adapt to evolving business requirements while maintaining system integrity.
These concepts are particularly relevant in modern web development, where I apply them extensively in my courses at DHBW Stuttgart to demonstrate sustainable software design.
Linus Torvalds — Free and Open Source Software (FOSS)
As a passionate advocate for open source software, Torvalds' work with Linux and Git has deeply influenced my approach to collaborative development and version control methodologies.
The FOSS philosophy aligns perfectly with my commitment to knowledge sharing, both in enterprise environments and in academia, where I emphasize the importance of open collaboration and transparent development practices.
Git's distributed nature has shaped my approach to teaching modern development workflows, particularly in web development courses where collaboration is key.
Aaron Swartz — Open Access
Swartz's vision of open access has significantly influenced my approach to system design and information architecture. His principles align with my teaching of web development and social engineering, emphasizing the importance of accessible yet secure systems.
These concepts have proven particularly valuable in developing enterprise architectures that balance accessibility with security requirements, a crucial aspect I cover in my social engineering courses at LFH.
The principles of open access influence how I approach both software architecture and academic teaching, promoting transparency while maintaining necessary security boundaries.
Ilya Zhitomirskiy — Decentralization
Zhitomirskiy's principles of decentralization have been crucial in shaping my approach to modern web architectures and distributed systems, particularly relevant in today's microservices environments.
His concepts of distributed systems align closely with my teaching of web development, where I emphasize the importance of resilient, scalable architectures.
These principles have proven especially relevant in enterprise contexts where system reliability and scalability are paramount.
Aral Balkan — Ethical Design
Balkan's ethical design principles form a crucial component of my approach to software architecture, particularly relevant in my teaching of social engineering at LFH.
His framework provides valuable insights for developing systems that respect user privacy while meeting enterprise requirements, a balance I emphasize in both my academic and professional work.
These principles have become increasingly relevant in my work with enterprise systems, where privacy and ethical considerations must be balanced with business requirements.
