About Me.

Over the past years, I’ve worked as a Software Engineer and CTO, building everything from sleek mobile apps to scalable cloud architectures.

I'm passionate about technology and always eager to learn and explore new ideas. Thanks to my broad technical knowledge and hands-on experience across mobile, web, and cloud, I’m able to build solutions that are both robust and future-proof.

I believe great collaboration is key: I enjoy working as part of a team, communicating clearly, and staying organized and proactive throughout every project phase.

Technically, I specialize in:

  • 🚀 Mobile Apps - Flutter, Swift, Kotlin
  • 🔗 Backend - Golang, Node.js, scalable APIs (REST, GraphQL, gRPC)
  • ☁️ Cloud - AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, RDS & more)
  • 💻 Web - Next.js, React

For me, great software isn’t just about clean code and performance — it’s about delivering sustainable solutions that continue to create value over time.

Mobile Apps

I design and develop innovative and user-friendly mobile apps that don't just look great - they run smoothly, scale effortlessly, and provide an outstanding user experience. With Flutter, I create cross-platform apps that feel truly native on both iOS and Android. Need a fully native solution? No problem - I've got Swift and Kotlin in my toolkit, too.

But a great app is more than just code - it needs a solid architecture, seamless backend integration, and a cloud infrastructure that can scale with your users. That's why I bring my fullstack expertise to the table, ensuring your app isn’t just built, but built to last.

Cloud & Backend

A great app needs a rock-solid backend - fast, scalable, and ready to handle real-world traffic. I design and build cloud-native architectures with AWS, ensuring your backend is not just powerful but also efficient, secure, and cost-effective.

From scalable APIs to event-driven microservices, I prefer to use Golang and Node.js to create scalable, maintainable backend systems that grow with your product. Whether it's serverless with AWS Lambda or a containerized solution, I make sure your infrastructure is built for speed, security, and future scalability.

Whether it's a dynamic web app, a landing page, or a fully interactive platform, I create solutions that are both functional and future-proof.

With a focus on clean code, reusability, and performance optimization, I ensure your website is not just beautiful but also fast and easy to maintain. Need backend integration? No worries - I connect your frontend seamlessly with Golang, Node.js, or AWS-powered APIs.
