    Reynt — multi-tenant rental & booking platform

    A production, GDPR-compliant multi-tenant SaaS made in the EU. Thirteen packages, roughly 480,000 lines and 3,800+ commits in about eleven months, covered by ~1,400 tests: four Hono APIs, three Nuxt 4 frontends, an Astro marketing and docs site, a headless SDK. Tenant isolation by construction through PostgreSQL row-level security; PII encrypted at rest per tenant, searchable via blind indexes and erasable by crypto-shredding. Domains span the booking lifecycle, multi-option offers, an append-only payment ledger over Stripe Connect and PayPal, invoices and settlements, pricing and availability, a CMS storefront builder, localized multi-language SEO, and local tax and registration compliance. Product AI features include a tool-calling agent behind an operator approval workflow, an MCP server, and RAG-backed in-app help.

    MUSES — school IT platform for school authorities

    A cross-state DigitalPakt project for Baden-Württemberg, North Rhine-Westphalia and Saxony: one interface through which school authorities and school IT staff manage WiFi access, support tickets, devices and content filtering. A .NET 9 backend on Clean Architecture consolidates five external SaaS services — Cisco Meraki, OTOBO, Relution, Cisco Umbrella and Keycloak — behind a single REST API; a React 19 SPA provides OIDC authentication and role-based access, alongside an accessible React Aria component library shipped as an npm package. A dedicated Rust service persists ticket requests ahead of the call and retries them with backoff, so nothing is lost during OTOBO outages. Operated GitOps-style on Kubernetes at a German host.
