What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities.

I am a Lead Engineer and Solutions Architect with over 14 years of diverse practical experience in designing and delivering scalable, distributed systems. My strong background in leading agile development teams across different locations has honed my skills in clear communication and effective collaboration. I am passionate about building reliable software and improving team productivity while staying current with modern development practices.

At Blocshop, I have successfully led a local team of 15 developers and coordinated efforts with teams distributed across Europe. I architected a transformation from a monolith to a microservices-based cloud-native system, significantly improving scalability and reducing deployment time. My work in cloud development and DevOps has been pivotal in delivering mission-critical solutions, and I have a proven track record of onboarding new clients through innovative R&D initiatives.
