At Zalter, where I’m CEO, CTO and Co-Founder, I lead a software development company focused on security software, including authentication and end-to-end encryption products. I also provide SaaS and PaaS services and software architecture consultancy.

My earlier work included designing Node.js server architecture for Square Enix’s Nosgoth distribution platform, with MongoDB clusters, AWS deployment scripts and secure WebSocket features. Across roles with Deutsche Bank, Amadeus Data, Zalando and others, I worked on software architecture, cloud systems, high-availability backends and real-time communication.
