What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and own impactful product and platform features end-to-end, especially scalable distributed systems spanning backend, frontend, cloud infrastructure, and AI-agent-driven development.

I've built and run Shelfhood, a book-exchange platform, as its technical co-founder and sole engineer, delivering the Go API, React/TypeScript web app, React Native/Expo mobile apps, Kubernetes deployment, and automated CI/CD.

At Consentio, I architect and deliver full-stack services for a fresh-produce marketplace using Go, React, Google Cloud Platform, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, and Claude Code. Across Freeverse, Midokura, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Broadcom, and FPGA engineering roles, I've built distributed services, blockchain products, IoT platforms, HPC optimizations, and processor designs while leading backend developers and focusing on performance, scalability, and energy efficiency.
