A Software Engineer focused on web, systems, performance and security.
Interested in anti-cheat engineering, reverse engineering, web development and low-level development.
I am a fairly versatile developer building software across the stack - from bare metal microcontrollers over backend systems to modern frontend and game infrastructure.
My core interests:
- (Game-)security & anti-cheat research
- Reverse engineering
- Embedded systems & bare-metal programming
- High-performance backend systems
- Machine learning
- Graphics processing
- Mobile Development
Based in Germany.
- Java / Kotlin (primary stack)
- Spring/Ktor ecosystem
- Game Development
- Serialization systems (kotlinx.serialization)
- Database-backed systems (PostgreSQL, Cassandra, Mongodb, Redis, yadda yadda)
- Researching anti-cheat techniques and bypass vectors
- Analyzing binaries and runtime behavior
- Working with x86/x64 assembly
- Building proof-of-concept detection systems
- DirectX (9–12)
- OpenGL
- Custom hand-drawn UI and shader experiments
- Research search engine indexing roughly 400m documents
- Managing and designing terrabyte scale distributed database infrastructure in order to achieve efficient lookups, storage and caching
- Streamlining deployment and provisioning of nodes
- Building and maintaining the backend
- Designing and building:
- the software that managed a GPU cluster to compute sparse embeddings for the index
- the opensearch index optimized for BM25 and sparse hybrid retrieval
- the backend & frontend using ktor and exposed for the rest and db access, frontend using react & nextjs
