About

Professional summary

I am an Application Architect and Senior Backend Developer with more than a decade of experience building and evolving mission-critical enterprise systems.

My background is centered on backend engineering, system design, and large-scale platform modernization. I have spent much of my career transforming monolithic applications into resilient microservice architectures, with a strong focus on maintainability, scalability, and technical governance.

I work comfortably across PHP, Golang, TypeScript, and Laravel/NestJS-based ecosystems, and I enjoy combining hands-on development with architectural decision-making. I have also led teams, performed code reviews, and mentored developers while delivering production systems for international businesses.

A major part of my work has involved cloud and infrastructure-aware engineering, especially with AWS, Docker, Linux, and relational databases such as PostgreSQL and MySQL. I value clean architecture, solid patterns, and practical engineering standards that help teams move faster without sacrificing quality.

I am also interested in modern tooling and emerging technologies, including AI-assisted development, local LLM workflows, and automation. I like using these tools to improve developer productivity and to explore better ways of building software.

Outside of work, I enjoy electronics, embedded projects, drones, and custom RC builds. I am open to relocation in Europe and interested in opportunities where I can contribute as a senior technical leader or architect.
