Hi, I am

I design and lead backend systems that scale. Over 9+ years across startups and enterprises, I've turned complex requirements into fault-tolerant, cloud-native platforms that stay reliable in production.
Based in Vienna, Austria
About Me
I'm a Senior Software Engineer and Technical Lead based in Vienna, Austria. Over the past 9+ years I've designed and led backend systems — from payment integrations at national scale to fault-tolerant cloud platforms — for both fast-moving startups and large organizations.
Today I own end-to-end architecture at Logsta, leading an AWS-based, Terraform-managed platform that serves companies across five countries, and mentoring the engineers who build it. My core strengths are Java, Spring Boot, Node.js, and cloud infrastructure — and I co-found products on the side (Stryde and Statustrust). I learn relentlessly and care deeply about systems that hold up under real load.
