Hi, I'm Ralf Guth 👋

About Me

I'm a software developer focused on backend, architecture, integrations, and distributed systems.
I enjoy working on problems involving Java, microservices, messaging, databases, APIs, and infrastructure.

But man does not live by payload alone.

In my spare time, I like applying software engineering, automation, and tooling to building translation patches for Japanese Sega Saturn games xD


Main Stack

What I usually work with

  • Backend: Java, Quarkus, REST APIs, layered architecture, microservices
  • Database: PostgreSQL, data modeling, queries, performance
  • Messaging: queues, events, asynchronous integrations
  • Infra/DevOps: Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, cloud
  • Tools: automation, scripts, troubleshooting, observability
  • Side quests: reverse engineering, tooling, romhacking, AI applied to technical workflows

Featured Project

🎮 Langrisser III English Translation Patch

One of my favorite personal projects.

I'm working on a translation patch for a Japanese Sega Saturn game, with a focus on:

  • technical process organization
  • tooling and automation
  • asset and binary validation
  • reverse engineering
  • using AI agents for heavy analysis and experimentation work

📦 Repository: langrisser3-english

My role is handling the software engineering side.
The AI agents do the heavy lifting.
The 1996 binaries decide whether they accept it or not 😢


Things I Like Building

  • systems
  • integrations between services
  • solutions focused on clarity and maintainability
  • automations that reduce repetitive work
  • tools for dealing with weird problems
  • personal projects that seem like a bad idea at first and kind of cool later

Current Side Quest

[✓] writing code
[✓] solving integration headaches
[✓] using AI as a tool
[✓] getting beaten up by legacy binaries with dignity
