Description

I empower growing businesses and startups to scale and optimise their core processes through custom-built business applications.

As a Full Stack Tech Lead (Java, Groovy, Angular, React) with 20+ years of experience, I bridge the gap between complex business challenges and high-performing technical solutions. I operate as a freelance partner with a strong product-led mindset, combining high autonomy with a collaborative approach to deliver sustainable growth.

What I do

Clean Tech Debt: Refactoring and stabilizing legacy systems so teams can move fast again.
Modernize Architectures: Orchestrating seamless transitions from Monoliths to Microservices & Micro-frontends.
Build from Scratch: Designing and delivering robust, secure, and scalable "Greenfield" applications.
