I’m Open to work! I’m currently looking for a full-time software engineering role for 2024

Hi, my name is

Christian Eilers.

I build reliable systems for reliable companies.

I’m a Backend engineer specialising in building (and designing) highly performant, scalable, and maintainable backend systems for all kinds of purposes. Currently, I’m pursuing a Master’s degree in Software Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University

About Me

Hi there! My name is Christian, and I’m passionate about building full-fledged backend solutions that are not only robust but also modular and clean.

I have 4+ years of experience working as a Backend developer with expertise in large-scale systems. Recently, I’ve been diving deeper into creating intuitive Frameworks through my research work at Carnegie Mellon University. My goal is to not only write code that is functional, maintainable, and well-tested but to build products that are usable, performant and can scale to meet the needs of your dynamic business.

I’m always looking for new challenges and opportunities to learn and grow as a software engineer, and I’m excited to see what the future holds.

Guidewire

Software Engineer Intern, Product

During my tenure, I spearheaded pivotal improvements to a 2M+ line codebase, skillfully harnessing tools such as Selenide, TestNG, Java, Groovy, and OpenAPI. I deepened backend proficiency with Java and Groovy, focusing on operational optimization. Worked autonomously on high-impact projects, consistently seeking clarifications and delivering seamless integrations with internal frameworks. A senior member from the development team commended my ability to produce well-organized code, manage complex product layers, and collaborate effectively across teams, noting my clear communication and dedication to understanding and fulfilling project requirements.
