About

Passionate software engineer looking for the best solutions. Always willing to improve on architecture, speed & user experience. Lots of experience in many different environments:

  • B2B (corporate applications, CRM, security)
  • B2C (web applications, shops)
  • Designing large scale, multi-tier, highly available architectures (microservices / cloud)

Willing to expand my knowledge where and whenever needed.
I work well and efficiently from home. Distant travel/public transport are less than ideal.
