Hello, my name is Niels, and I am a software engineer with 9+ years of experience. The technologies and design patterns I currently prefer are:
- React (TypeScript) for frontend development,
- Remix.run (React)—targeting Express—for backend development,
- GraphQL (Node.js) for API design,
- AWS SageMaker for machine learning,
- continuous deployment of tested features as well as
- GitHub Workflows and AWS CodePipelines for deploying cloud resources.
I created AIsneaks, where I generate sneaker designs with Artificial Intelligence (see aisneaks.xyz).
Currently, I work as a freelancer in agile teams of different companies and projects such as Mercedes, Audi and OTTO.
