Hi! I'm Roman

I started at Zooplus in 2018, initially as a senior full-stack developer. In 2021, I transitioned to a technical lead role, where my responsibilities include software design, system architecture & implementation, advising teams on how to best build their products. I also like to give (and participate in) workshops to facilitate knowledge sharing.

In 2023 I took on additional responsibilities as a people lead, such as conducting regular one-on-ones with the team, ensuring a positive work environment and mentoring others in addition to my duties as tech lead.

To use more standardized industry terms, my work at zooplus is best described as that of an engineering manager.

While finishing my master's degree, I worked at Innovation.rocks part-time - At first I was developing mini JS applications for mobile devices that rendered augmented reality content in a web view. Later, I was in charge of creating a CMS backend responsible for serving these applications and their assets. The CMS included a role-based access model, as well as internationalization capabilities for the provided content.

I worked at Theobroma part-time during my bachelor's degree. During my time there, I implemented parts of a javascript runtime targeted for embedded devices, including a Web-IDE for live-debugging javascript-apps running on micro-controllers using the V8 debugger protocol and an nginx-module for routing.

As a student, I paired up with a good friend and colleague of mine to design and implement a document search system for Schubert Elektroanlagen as a freelancer. The system was built on ruby on rails and used Apache Solr to index PDF documents and make them available for search.
