Description

I help companies design and deliver scalable software systems, modernize legacy platforms, and lead complex technology transformations across global teams. With 20+ years of experience in software development, I’ve successfully scaled engineering organizations, modernized digital infrastructures, and driven multimillion-euro initiatives across Europe, the Americas, and Asia.

What sets me apart is my ability to align tech with business strategy, whether that means building real-time, event-driven systems, launching cross-functional Agile practices, or coaching engineering teams to technical excellence.

Project examples:

• End-to-end software architecture & delivery

• Digital platform modernization

• Real-time system design (C#, Java, AWS)

• Data strategy & system integration (SQL, Elasticsearch, MongoDB)

• Agile team coaching & transformation

Let’s collaborate if you need a trusted partner who brings both technical depth and executive perspective to your most important tech challenges.
