Summary

Since 2008 I have been building user-friendly, responsive interfaces and products for phone, tablet and desktop. I set up scalable component architectures with React, Next.js and TypeScript. I have turned large datasets into interactive charts, built front-ends for blockchain projects and developed an end-to-end security app from scratch (evasis). I have led front-end teams, mentored developers and worked in remote and hybrid teams. Today I build products with AI (Claude Code, Codex) at the centre of my workflow. A bachelor’s in Business and a master’s in Management Information Systems help me weigh technical decisions against business goals.
