What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build secure, high-performance mobile products from scratch, work on digital identity and connected-device challenges, and collaborate with positive international teams that value healthy culture.

At Thales, I architect secure digital identity applications using cryptography, NFC, Bluetooth Low Energy, and decentralized identity protocols including OpenID4VCI, OpenID4VP, and OIDC. I also work directly with clients and improve app responsiveness through profiling and code reviews.

I’ve led Android development for GotCourts and created BimmerREFS end to end, building Android, iOS, web, REST API, database, and security components. BimmerREFS has reached more than 60,000 downloads and 30,000 active users.
