What I'm looking for

I seek a senior engineering role building scalable, event-driven systems with Java/Kotlin and React, in teams valuing strong testing, DDD and product impact.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with deep expertise in Kotlin, Java and React, focused on building production-grade, high-throughput systems. I design and implement backend services, APIs and modern frontend interfaces that solve complex domain problems.

At Kuehne+Nagel I led development of a tender management application from scratch using Kotlin and React; the platform became the standard for airfreight tenders and tripled the number of tenders handled within its first year of launch.

Previously, I contributed to building MVPs and evolving platforms at Promoty OÜ, working across the stack with Spring Boot, Spring Data JDBC, PostgreSQL, TypeScript and AWS, and wrote automation tests and CI/CD-aware code. Early in my career I built and maintained web applications as a junior developer, gaining practical experience in application delivery.

I hold a Master's-level computer science education with coursework in distributed systems, algorithms, cloud computing and machine learning, and I bring strong practices in testing, debugging production issues, event-driven architectures and domain-driven design.
