About Me

I’m a full-stack engineer and technical leader with over 8 years of experience building and scaling digital products. I started my career as a frontend developer and later became Co-Founder and CTO of Fronty, where I worked with a small team to build an AI-powered automation platform. I was responsible for system design, product direction, and engineering workflows, collaborating closely with designers, developers, and stakeholders to launch tools that reached thousands of users.

Beyond my startup experience, I’ve worked as a freelancer, consultant, and team lead, delivering projects for SaaS platforms, AI tools, enterprise websites, and e-commerce brands. My portfolio includes corporate and real estate websites (Cavendum Futura, Ifang Baden Futura, Metropark Futura, Workfashion, Ruetschi Brugg, Certinety, Talktime, Buildup.am) as well as international consumer brands like Colgate, Ro.co, Whoop, Mack Weldon, Tommy John, and Net32. These projects gave me opportunities to code, guide product decisions, and work hand-in-hand with clients and teams across the world.

Technically, I cover the full stack: Ruby on Rails and Python on the backend, Vue and React on the frontend, PostgreSQL/MySQL/Mongo for databases, and modern DevOps with Docker, CI/CD pipelines, AWS, Hetzner, and Nginx. I’ve also developed a strong focus on AI and automation, experimenting with ComfyUI, Stable Diffusion, and LoRA models to build smarter, faster workflows.

What sets me apart is my ability to combine hands-on coding with a product mindset—I care about clean, scalable code, but also about how the product solves problems and creates value. I believe technology should feel simple and intuitive, letting people focus on outcomes, not tools.

I enjoy working with teams, mentoring others, and continuously learning, and I thrive in places where good engineering, design, and collaboration come together to create meaningful products.
