08/2025 - 05/2026
Draxon GmbHCologne
Senior Full Stack Engineer
Owned end-to-end development of core product features for an IATA-certified VR training platform deployed across 25+ airports and ground handling companies worldwide, spanning architecture, APIs, and high-performance user interfaces, along with DevOps and production reliability.
- Led development of a web-based LMS for IATA-certified VR training modules deployed on Meta Quest headsets, built with Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind, Shadcn/Radix UI, and TanStack Query.
- Architected a VR Device Management & Analytics platform processing 100K+ device events/month; decoupled device telemetry ingestion from query-heavy analytics using event-driven architecture, WebSockets for real-time dashboard updates, and PostgreSQL with optimised indexing strategies, keeping API response times under 200ms.
- Implemented multi-tenant data isolation and RBAC across the platform, supporting independent airport operator accounts with JWT-based auth middleware and API rate limiting.
- Designed and scaled a Translation Management System with LLM integrations (OpenAI) and pgvector-powered semantic search, reducing manual translation overhead by ~70% across 5 supported languages.
- Introduced RabbitMQ for async job processing, decoupling translation and reporting pipelines from the request cycle and eliminating timeout failures on long-running LLM tasks.
- Built Redis caching layer for session management and frequently-accessed analytics queries, significantly reducing database load at peak usage.
- Drove platform scalability and reliability improvements to support growing deployment across 25+ airports, including Prisma custom migrations, query optimisation, and webhook integrations for third-party services.
- Led technical evaluation of new frameworks and tools, providing structured recommendations that shaped the platform's long-term architecture.
- Owned CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions), AWS cloud infrastructure, and established observability strategy with Grafana and Prometheus alerting.
