Head of Project Management and PMO METAPOTT GmbH
Managed and helped build a custom project management solution using Excel and JavaScript. Developed PMO methods for software and SAP projects. Previously served as Co-CEO.
I'm a software developer focused on Rust and open source, with a background in building web applications and business tools. I enjoy turning practical problems into useful software.
I built Fastmash, a Rust command-line tool for statistics on text and quoted CSV. It combines familiar datamash commands with weighted means, complete-record selection, text-table checks, and ranked dataset comparisons. Software 80-bit arithmetic keeps results reproducible across supported machines for the same version, input, and explicit settings. https://fastmash.io
My current work also includes upstream contributions and Ripscope, a Rust source-navigation tool targeting cscope compatibility, persistent indexing, and editor integration.
Selected contributions include a compiler-transform optimization in SWC, GnuPG compatibility tests in Jujutsu, and the feature "DeepTutor Doctor" in DeepTutor, which eases AI setup and redacts sensitive information.
Current technical focus: Rust. Earlier applications used Java, JavaScript, PHP, SQL, HTML/CSS and VBA; Python contributions include DeepTutor. Database experience includes MySQL, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server.
Earlier, I developed business software for Toyota Asker & Bærum and a legislative-text web application prototype for Norway's Ministry of Justice. At the European Parliament, I worked on business analysis and software delivery, coordinating an international development team. My wider background includes research, university teaching, project management and entrepreneurship. I hold a PhD in Information Systems and an MBA.
Based in Essen, Germany, I'm looking for full-time, hands-on software development work, preferably remote and in an English-speaking team. Rust is my current focus, and I'm open to other languages. I'm comfortable with work travel, including monthly if needed, and would consider office attendance one day per week for a role within two hours of Essen.
