About

I’m a hands-on engineer interested in well-made interfaces, dependable systems and owning the whole path from code to server.

I have more than four years of commercial engineering experience. At bet365, I work on large-scale customer-facing systems: rewriting legacy .NET in Go and moving interfaces to React.

Before that, I led the UI redesign of a VISTECH enterprise platform used by pharmaceutical companies and more than 80,000 people each day. I introduced React and TypeScript there, and built an AI-integrated chatbot.

Away from work, I run my own infrastructure on a Hetzner server and an Umbrel at home. That includes Home Assistant, Immich, and a private AI platform for local models and personal agents.
