About

I’m a senior full-stack software engineer with over five years of experience designing and shipping high-performance web and mobile applications across SaaS, B2B, and consumer platforms. I love collaborating with product teams to balance speed and quality, mentor junior engineers, and drive measurable product outcomes.

I’m based in Zürich on a Swiss B permit and actively seeking full-time roles at growth-stage startups. My core expertise includes React, Next.js, TypeScript, React Native, Ruby on Rails, and modern cloud tooling, and I enjoy turning complex problems into scalable, maintainable solutions.
