🚀 I Build Scalable Systems. I Orchestrate AI. I Elevate Engineering.

With nearly 20 years of experience in software engineering, I’ve operated across startups, freelance missions (9 years), technical training (3 years), and multinational ESNs.
Today, as a Lead Software Engineer, I focus on building high-quality, scalable, observable systems that align technology with product vision.

I am as comfortable architecting complex backend systems as I am designing refined frontend experiences and mobile applications.

Core Stack

Docker Node.js TypeScript Astro React NestJS tRPC GraphQL
Strong interest in Flutter
Cloud-native & observability-first mindset

But frameworks are tools.
My real strength is designing systems, processes, and teams that scale.

🧠 What I Bring as a Lead Engineer

I don’t just build features. I design sustainable delivery systems.
I go beyond implementation. I operate at the intersection of:

  • Technical Excellence
  • Product Strategy
  • Delivery Optimisation

I:

  • Guarantee architectural consistency & technical quality
  • Design observability and resilience into systems
  • Align engineering with product vision and roadmap strategy
  • Provide technical leadership within Agile environments
  • Balance long-term maintainability with short-term velocity
  • Industrialise reusable components and foundations
  • Support and elevate engineering teams
  • Design and implement complex, high-impact features

I operate where technology meets strategic impact.

🤖 AI-Driven Development & Engineering Amplification

I am actively shaping the transition toward AI-augmented engineering.
My focus includes:

  • AI-Driven Dev (AIDD)
  • BMAD methodologies
  • Multi-agent orchestration
  • Advanced prompting strategies
  • Human-in-the-Loop AI systems

I believe the future of software development is not about replacing developers. It’s about amplifying their capabilities through intelligent collaboration.
