I love learning Korean;

I've held three different positions in this company. From part-time employee to full time intern and now finally as a full time employee in the data division.

I develop software that extracts information from the unstructured deep web and that converts it into a structured format for further data analysis.

Freelance Web Developer

Web development • UI design • Custom solutions

When I turned 18 I finally launched my own sole proprietorship, Kaiwa-Projects. This has allowed me to do a wide variety of freelance jobs. Most of the freelance jobs were custom solutions such as customer management systems, online hotel or guesthouse booking systems or lead generation applications.

Intern Programmer

Logistics • C# development • Process optimization

At Bauhuis I did my graduation internship. During my time there, I developed multiple applications ranging from a logistics application to a set of applications for process optimization. The logistics application was a web interface to better plan in and outgoing deliveries and the process optimization applications automated the manual labor of collecting and printing spare part lists of complete industrial plant drawings, it decreased 2 days of work into a single mouse click.
