Apprentice backend developer @ DATEV (Nuremberg, Germany). I design robust services, typed APIs and deployments that don't wake you up at 3am.
Living in: Fürth, Bavaria • Keywords: Spring Boot • NestJS • PostgreSQL • CI/CD • Homelab
- Apprentice for application development at DATEV in Nuremberg, Germany.
- Based in Fürth – right next door to Nuremberg.
- Backend focused: I enjoy building APIs and services that are easy to reason about and even easier to deploy.
- Self‑employed since 2022 – I like to turn ideas into running services, not slide decks.
- You can reach me at rainer@schnittert.com.
- Backend: Java, Spring Boot, NestJS (TypeScript)
- Data & Storage: PostgreSQL, Redis
- Infra & DevOps: Docker, Cloud Foundry, Proxmox, Traefik, Drone CI, GitHub Actions
- Frontend (when needed): Angular, TypeScript
- Service‑oriented backends with clear boundaries, strong typing and readable modules.
- Authentication and authorization flows that are secure but still understandable.
- Tooling around deployment, monitoring and developer experience – I prefer automation over manual steps.
Solar powered sensor platform for wind and GPS with local storage and exports.
Tech: C++ (ESP32), MQTT, local logging, data export for later analysis.
Multi‑tenant platform with payments, profiles and matching.
Tech: NestJS, PostgreSQL, Stripe, Docker, GitHub Actions, Cloud Foundry.
Proxmox cluster with pfSense, Pangolin, Gitea and Drone CI for my side projects.
Focus: reproducible infra‑as‑code, self‑hosted CI pipelines and automated backups.
Small services around file sharing, privacy and short links.
They are my playground to try new ideas and technologies in the real world.
- Improving Spring Boot and NestJS boilerplates for faster, cleaner service setups.
- Experimenting with self‑hosted CI and monitoring on my homelab.
- Learning more about clean architecture and modular monoliths in TypeScript backends.
- I like building things that run on their own – from sailing gadgets to home servers.
- I enjoy turning vague ideas into something you can actually click, curl or ssh into.
- Franconia based: Fürth & Nuremberg are my home base for work, coffee and side projects.
