What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a remote European role in a small, autonomous team where I can own scalable Go backend and distributed systems end to end, ship quickly, and help strengthen engineering practices as the team grows.

I've built production Go services for ZEDEDA's EVE-OS, an open-source Linux OS orchestrating edge workloads across distributed self-hosted hardware fleets. I designed device lifecycle, secure boot, network configuration, and container and VM orchestration flows.

At Sword Greece, I built high-integrity backend services for the EU Entry/Exit System and ETIAS border-management platforms, using CQRS, event sourcing, Kafka, Elasticsearch, and PostgreSQL. Earlier, I delivered real-time cybersecurity data pipelines at Sphynx and fine-grained authorization services at Axiomatics.

I bring 10+ years of software and systems engineering experience, a cybersecurity MSc, 13 peer-reviewed publications, and active open-source contributions. I work best in small autonomous teams where I can own systems end to end and improve engineering practices as the team grows.
