What I'm looking for
At infrest, I build TypeScript products end to end. I created AI agent workflows that roughly doubled feature throughput and replaced a 20-microservice Kubernetes architecture with a streamlined platform on Azure App Service.
Before infrest, I co-founded swiff.ai and built a cloud gaming platform with gameplay latency under 100 ms. Earlier, I led customer-facing cloud and IT projects at Computacenter, Cloudreach and Hoverture, growing two Cloudreach accounts from around €100K to over €1.2M a year.
