What I'm looking for

Looking for a full-time full-stack role in a small to mid-sized company where I can have real impact.

Experienced in leading teams, defining architecture, and shipping features end-to-end — from backend infrastructure to frontend experience. Previously worked in projects for BMW and ASML in automation and QA. Currently founder of Valtara, a tech-powered fashion brand combining software, AI, and streetwear. Passionate about fast iteration, clean code, and creating tools that deliver real value.
