About

A senior backend engineer who thinks like a business analyst.

I started from applied mathematics and C++, then spent 15+ years delivering Ruby on Rails products before moving my main focus to Elixir and Phoenix. That mix gives me a practical view of architecture: fast enough for product work, disciplined enough for long-lived systems.

Before backend engineering became my main focus, I ran a business-automation practice, translating client processes into working systems for more than a hundred companies. That background still shapes how I work today: I start from the business problem, not the ticket, and let architecture follow from what the client actually needs, across enterprise workflows, data-heavy applications, and integration-heavy platforms.
