I build backend systems that have to keep working.

Fintech platforms, payment APIs, SaaS products, high-traffic web apps. Fifteen years of it, mostly in payments, factoring, and lead generation. My focus is backend architecture, distributed systems, event-driven design, and the platform engineering around them: cloud-native services on AWS and GCP, API design, observability, analytics pipelines. Also the unglamorous job of modernizing backends nobody wants to touch. I'm backend-first, but I ship whole products when the job needs it, with React, Next.js, Svelte, or Electron on the other side.

AI changed how I work more than any tool I picked up in the last decade. I wrote down how I use it, and where I still don't trust it, in my AI manifesto →
