I am a Software Architect and Principal Engineer with more than a decade of experience in building SaaS products, distributed systems, and modern software architectures.
My work combines hands-on software development with cloud strategy (AWS), DevOps practices, and leadership experience. This breadth allows me to bridge architecture, operations, and business requirements into solutions that are effective, scalable and sustainable.
- I design architectures that are flexible, stable in operation, and aligned with business priorities.
- I connect software engineering, cloud strategy, and product goals into cohesive systems.
- I guide teams so that development work is reliable and effective, and knowledge is shared.
- I support executives in making technology decisions that scale sustainably.
Alongside this, I contribute directly as a developer and architect – ensuring that ideas move beyond diagrams and into working software.
Core Expertise
- Scalable SaaS Systems – Secure, Event-Driven, Highly-Available and Compliace-ready Architectures
- Software Architecture & Development – Elixir, Rust, TypeScript, Node.js, Python; applying DDD and TDD for maintainable, testable systems
- Cloud & Platform Engineering – AWS (Serverless, CDK, EKS, ECS, Lambda, DynamoDB), Kubernetes, Terraform, Pulumi, infrastructure modernization
- Team Enablement – Mentoring engineers, driving agile practices, and providing Interim Technical Leadership
