About

I help companies deliver critical software projects with Java/Python/TypeScript — fast, clean, and production-ready. I work directly with product stakeholders, translate business requirements into technical decisions, and build the solution end-to-end: architecture, implementation, and operations. I’m cloud-agnostic and comfortable across AWS and Azure, with hands-on delivery in Kubernetes, IaC (Terraform, Pulumi), and robust CI/CD. My work spans Java, Node.js, React, distributed systems, and integration-heavy platforms. I’m strongest in projects where clear business goals need to become reliable software quickly — from platform modernization to complex system integration. Available for remote-first DACH freelance projects in senior backend, fullstack, cloud modernization, and AI-enabled platform engineering.
