ABOUT ME
Web Developer (Backend)
Web Developer (Backend)

I've been building software and data systems for 17 years. Until mid-2026 I was Head of Engineering at AUTODOC, a large European e-commerce company, leading 50+ people across backend, data, platform and QA.

Hands-on, my main language is Go, plus Python for data work. I wrote a Go processing service that handled about 250M rows a day, built Airflow pipelines, and worked on a real-time pricing platform serving around 30k requests per second. I led our move to Snowflake and later built my own data product on top of it.

Now I want to get back to hands-on data engineering and backend work: owning pipelines and migrations end to end, and working directly with product and business people.
