Stack

The current toolbox.

Hands-on across the stack — from PostgreSQL + typed ORMs + NestJS up through modern React, with AI, FHIR and ERP layered on top where the problem demands.

AI & ML01
Vendor-neutral AI gateway. BYO custom & open-source LLM, ASR and TTS providers. Retrieval-augmented generation, vector search, agent orchestration with Mastra-AI, evaluation harnesses and prompt engineering as a discipline.
Cloud & Sovereignty02
Multi-cloud, EU-sovereign by default. Active partnerships with Open Telekom Cloud Germany and OVH Cloud for GDPR-aligned data residency, plus AWS for global reach. Region-pinned deployments, BYO-key encryption, audit-ready landing zones.
Backend03
Polyglot backend at scale. Java, Python, Node.js, NestJS, FastAPI on PostgreSQL with typed ORMs, an in-memory cache layer, event streaming and background workers — multi-tenant from day one.
Data & HA04
PostgreSQL high-availability. Streaming replication, automated failover, point-in-time recovery, logical-replication CDC, read replicas and zero-downtime migrations — engineered for clinical-grade RPO & RTO.
Containers & Orchestration05
Docker-first, Kubernetes-ready. Reproducible images, multi-arch builds, supply-chain signing, hardened base images and a container workflow that runs the same way on a laptop, in CI and in production.
Realtime & Voice06
Self-hosted realtime media. LiveKit-powered audio / video / data tracks for telemedicine and AI voice agents. Sub-second turn-taking, adaptive codecs, end-to-end encrypted rooms — fully owned, never proxied.
Frontend07
Modern React, real-time UX. Next.js, TypeScript, server components, Server-Sent Events for live clinical state, utility-first CSS with semantic tokens, accessibility-first component libraries.
FHIR & Health08
FHIR-native by design. Patient-graph modelling, resource-level RBAC, audit trails, telemedicine workflows and HIPAA-aligned engineering — built on HAPI FHIR with a custom domain SDK.
ERP & CRM09
Enterprise systems, end-to-end. Odoo for ERP (manufacturing, recycling, healthcare), Oracle CX / ATG for high-volume e-commerce, TEMENOS for core banking — with the integration layers between them.
Mobile10
Cross-platform & native. Flutter, React Native and native Swift / Android — patient apps, clinician companions and offline-capable field tools.
Vibecoding11
AI-assisted engineering as a discipline. A practiced way of working with coding agents — intent, planning, review and verification baked into the flow — so AI accelerates senior engineering judgement instead of replacing it. Faster delivery, tighter feedback loops, auditable output.
CI / CD & Method12
Robust delivery pipelines. GitOps with branch-protected trunks, ephemeral preview environments, signed artifacts, automated DB migrations, blue / green & canary rollouts, observability gates and rollback drills — on top of Agile / Scrum / Kanban with a zero-trust security posture.
