About

Clear code.
Honest delivery.

Over eight years I've helped teams at Citi, Mphasis, Terra.do and MVIX modernize backend systems, move to the cloud and ship features customers actually use.

Now I freelance — working directly with founders and product teams on the things that matter most: architecture, APIs, infrastructure, performance. Clear communication, clean code, transparent process from kickoff to deploy.
