• Leading two teams within the Assistance segment: Live Channels, which powers our real-time chat support for customers, and Virtual Assistant, which leverages LLMs, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to deliver more tailored experiences at scale.
• My focus has shifted toward AI engineering, devising solutions with LLMs, vector databases, prompt engineering, and RAG pipelines to create reliable, scalable, and context-aware customer support systems. Alongside building the technical foundation, I’m partnering with cross-functional teams to ensure our conversational AI is not just innovative, but also trustworthy and customer-centric.
• As with previous roles, I continue to combine deep technical problem-solving with leadership, guiding teams through architectural decisions, fostering growth, and driving impact at the intersection of real-time systems and applied AI.

• As a Tech Lead at N26, I’ve been driving technical excellence and cross-team collaboration to evolve our platform into a scalable, resilient, and developer-friendly ecosystem. From shipping critical fixes in my first week to re-architecting our monorepo for multi-app deployments, I’ve consistently tackled high-impact challenges head-on. Key highlights include reducing build times from 30min to 2min, eliminating a long-standing dev server crash, and migrating Redis to a production-grade clustered setup.
• Beyond code, I’ve focused heavily on mentorship and team growth, scaling our team from 1 to 5 engineers, mentoring seniors toward leadership roles, and supporting cross-functional initiatives like the Statsig rollout, which enabled type-safe feature experimentation across all products. I've also co-authored foundational RFCs to unify engineering practices and redefine several scalability factors in our product.
• I’ve championed performance and productivity across our CI/CD pipelines, introduced distributed caching to save compute time, and led efforts to streamline translations, saving teams hours of manual work weekly. I care deeply about culture and learning, organizing book clubs, off-sites, and creating spaces for engineers to grow.
• From representing N26 at international conferences, reviewing RFCs beyond my segment to supporting platform evolution across internal and external tooling, my role blends deep technical problem-solving with strategic leadership to help our teams ship better software, faster.

• Working at woom is a joy and challenging at the same time. We deal with a large scale infrastructure that spams across many continents (EU, North America, Asia) and yet we are still a startup with a very small and efficient team. and cmon! we make bikes for kids. How cool is it? isn't just cool, it's awesome!
• On the technical side, I am writing high-scale, cloud-based applications using Scala and the Play framework for high concurrency and high availability for our very international and remote team. I am currently focused on rebuilding our whole international e-commerce experience from scratch using Typescript, GraphQL and Vue.js using Nuxt.
• On top of that, I deeply care about soft skills, mainly focusing on good communication and team building, making sure I can pass the techy message along in an understandable and friendly way, specially for Non-tech-savvy users.

• Working on our Point-of-sale end-2-end solution, I had the opportunity to implement a diverse set of features in our highly performant Java backend, including secure payload transfers from our custom POS software and different service providers.
• I also had the opportunity to work on the POS frontend system, which was quite challenging due to the screen size limits in size and information density.

• Once I truly discovered my passion for Software Engineering, I could not get enough of learning and had the chance to apply as I started working full-time as software engineer at the Police HQ.
• One application that is still in production today is a general purpose Authentication API using the Inversion of Control principle with fine-grained permissions controls I architected and Implemented in Scala for token based authentication consumed by a wide range of internal clients like web and Android.
• I also onboarded and trained other developers on our existing applications, including recording
• screencasts with step-by-step tutorials.
