About Me
I’m a passionate full-stack developer combining technical craftsmanship and creative vision. I specialize in immersive web experiences, 3D visualisation (Three.js/WebGL), and bridging UI/UX with performant, maintainable backends. My background as an archaeologist has shaped the way I approach technology: working in complex, intercultural environments taught me precision, resilience, and a fascination for uncovering hidden structures, skills I now channel into building digital systems. Beyond development, I’m driven by curiosity for geospatial technologies, creative coding, and exploring how storytelling, data, and design can merge into meaningful interactive experiences.

Education & Certifications
- Theoretical Approaches: Theories of Subjectivation, Power Dynamics, Post-Colonialism, Orientalism, and Feminism.
- Socio-Political Archaeology: Social Inequality in Early Complex Societies, Imperialism, and the Problems of Ideology.
- Contemporary Context: The Political Dimension of Archaeology Today.
Bachelor Thesis ("Open Access und Open Data in der Archäologie"): Explored the application of Semantic Web technologies (Linked Open Data, JSON-LD, RDF) to archaeological research. Developed a conceptual WebGIS for the contemporary archaeology excavations of National Socialist forced labor camps at the Tempelhofer Feld. This work was subsequently cited in Reinhard Bernbeck's publication "Materielle Spuren des nationalsozialistischen Terrors: Zu einer Archäologie der Zeitgeschichte".
Interests & Side Projects
Aside from professional work, I enjoy building experimental 3D visualizations, exploring geospatial data, contributing to open-source, and continually learning new interactive web technologies.
Personal Research & Reading: Deeply interested in Theories of Power (Machttheorien), as well as the history, culture, and geopolitics of Kurdistan.
