It is self-reported from his resume; sources are linked next to the claims they support. ## The one-line answer For a full-stack or backend role, Sasha is already doing the job: he builds and deploys a multi-tenant SaaS on GCP today. ## The case, in four points 1. **He is in industry right now.** At HumanityLink he implemented a multi-tenant SaaS that lets NGOs reach clients over SMS and WhatsApp - EspoCRM frontend, Express backend, Twilio for batch messaging and surveys - and he is in charge of deploying it to GCP with Kubernetes and Docker. 2. **His work gets judged outside a classroom - and wins.** He independently built a browser-based augmented-reality application for Der TAkt; the project placed first in the Smart City ideas competition and received 10,000 EUR in funding. 3. **He goes from paper to working code.** At RWTH Aachen's machine-tool laboratory (WZL) he reviewed the literature, selected Proximal Policy Optimization, and implemented a prototype plus the regression model that simulated the environment. 4. **No sponsorship required.** Full-time, EU/German work authorization, on-site in Aachen/Germany. ## The questions a hiring manager will ask - **"Can he ship?"** He ships today: the SaaS is deployed on GCP with Kubernetes and Docker. - **"Is he experienced enough?"** His reported scope is multi-tenant architecture, a Twilio messaging integration, and GCP/Kubernetes deployment. - **"Is the unfinished degree a risk?"** He expects to finish his B.Sc. at RWTH Aachen in 2026, and he has worked in industry since 2021 - before he started the degree. - **"Is he too narrow?"** No - six listed roles since 2021 span system administration, machine learning, augmented reality, and full-stack development. ## Experience, with sources - **HumanityLink** - Software Developer (Oct 2025 - present, remote).
