From building products fast to designing systems that last
I help companies turn ideas and growth challenges into reliable, scalable software. I started by shipping a high volume of apps and websites for different clients at an agency. Then I moved into one of Europe's largest restaurant platforms (TheFork) working within a complex, multi-team architecture. Today I consult for product teams who need clarity in their technical direction—designing features, untangling complexity, and accelerating delivery.

A short intro about who I am and how I work.
Agency Foundations – High Velocity Delivery
Worked on many client projects at once: marketing sites, product MVPs, internal tools. I learned how to quickly understand a business goal, shape a realistic scope, communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders, and still deliver something solid on tight timelines. This built a bias for clarity, iteration, and reliability over over-engineering.
TheFork – Operating in Large-Scale Complexity
Spent 4 years inside a large international platform where every change had ripple effects. The system ran across many services in the cloud (AWS) with lots of moving parts—teams, data flows, internal tools. I learned to design features that worked with the existing architecture instead of pushing against it: reducing friction, preventing unexpected side-effects, and keeping the system healthy as it grew.
Consulting – Architecture & Feature Design
Now I partner with teams who need clarity: turning product ideas or scaling pains into clear plans. I help them choose what to build first, simplify over-complicated areas, design features that will evolve cleanly, and reduce future rework. It’s about improving speed without creating tomorrow’s rewrite.
How this helps you
- ✔Translate business goals into clear, buildable technical plans
- ✔Design features that scale instead of becoming rewrites later
- ✔Accelerate delivery while reducing long-term maintenance costs
- ✔Bring order to legacy or fast-growing codebases
- ✔Collaborate smoothly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
