Ambition is my second name.
I'm René — a Full Stack Developer with over 14 years of experience in web development and software architecture. I focus on scalable, type-safe solutions built with modern technologies — especially Next.js, React & TypeScript on the frontend and NestJS & GraphQL on the backend.
I work pragmatically and structurally, always with performance, maintainability, and developer experience in mind. Docker, CI/CD, testing and clean, reproducible infrastructure are as much a part of my work as clean code, API design, and component-based architecture.
Whether in a team or solo — I push projects forward. Fast, reliable, and solution-driven.
