I'm a Senior Software Engineer with more than a decade of experience building software end to end — from full-stack web applications to large enterprise systems. I'm genuinely passionate about technology and always keeping an eye on where it's heading.

I started out as a full-stack PHP developer in a digital agency, shipping e-commerce and content-driven websites while also handling digital marketing and hosting-server administration. I then moved into the public sector, where I spent several years designing and building Java/JEE enterprise applications for public-finance management.

Today I work across the modern stack — Java/JEE and Spring on the backend, Next.js and NestJS on the web, and Docker to ship it all — and I bring solutions to production with a strong focus on performance and clean architecture.

My growing interest in Big Data, Machine Learning and AI led me to formal training in Data Science and Big Data, which reshaped the way I approach mathematics, statistics and data-driven problem solving in practice.
