About me
Marwan Summakieh
Full-stack engineer building production web apps, VR experiences, and game prototypes — bridging code, design, and human-centered AI research.
My background
I'm a full-stack software engineer and creative technologist based in Copenhagen. My work spans front-end architecture, backend API development, cloud infrastructure, VR interaction design, and game development — with a constant focus on building products that are intuitive and impactful.
At Second Sun, I built a full-stack Flask application with Docker containerization for a turf management platform. As a freelancer, I shipped a Track & Trace order system using Next.js and MongoDB. At Joker IT, I managed Azure cloud infrastructure as the sole developer and built a custom Outlook extension — maintaining 99% uptime across legacy systems.
I'm currently pursuing my MSc in Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence at DTU, combining research on explainable AI and accessible interfaces with hands-on engineering. Outside of production work, I explore creative computing — building VR basketball games in Unity, RTS prototypes with behavior-tree AI, and learning 3D modeling in Blender.
