Munich, Bavaria, Germany
Seasoned Lead Software Architect with 10+ years of experience designing and implementing scalable, cloud-native applications that solve real business challenges. Passionate about bridging technical excellence with customer needs—whether leading engineering teams, optimizing CI/CD pipelines, or architecting SaaS platforms that drive millions in cost savings. What I bring to the table: Technical Leadership: From mentoring junior developers to designing systems like Hyvent (€41M annual client savings), I focus on delivering impact. Collaborative Problem-Solving: Thrive in cross-functional teams, translating complex technical concepts into actionable solutions. DevOps Mindset: Built CI/CD pipelines that slash build times by 92% and enable zero-downtime deployments. Beyond code: Guitar player, nature lover, and TTRPG strategist. I believe great software, like a good meal or dungeon campaign, requires creativity, precision, and teamwork.
- Architected and developed "Hyvent", a SaaS hybrid-event platform using Vue.js, NestJS and PostgreSQL, enabling global clients (e.g., VW, Audi) to save €41M annually in market training costs by digitising live training events and asset management. - Optimised CI/CD pipelines using GitlabCI, Docker and pnpm workspaces, reducing build times from over 25 minutes down to 2 minutes (92% faster), enabling the team to continuously deploy new features with zero downtime. - Lead a cross-functional team of 5 engineers (mix of internal/external talent) and aligning with product and business to define the technical roadmap. Mentored junior developers through pair programming sessions, code reviews and up-skilling sessions, enabling a junior team member to advance to a mid-level role within 9 months. Implemented agile processes (scrum), coordinating sprint planning, dailies and reviews, that together with the introduction of AI development tools reduced median feature delivery time from 3 to 2 weeks.
- Built high-performance web applications for global clients (Hauck, BMW, Audi, VW), handling peaks of +50K concurrent users, with 99.9% availability. - Developed a CLI tool to scan JavaScript repositories, generating comprehensive reports that slashed software compliance review time from weeks to minutes. - Defined tech stack and enforced SOLID/DRY principles, code reviews and CI/CD automated security checks that eliminated bugs in production in less than 3 months.
- Architected and developed a white-label, real-time, web-based video conferencing SaaS solution leveraging WebRTC, websockets and micro-services architecture. Its implementation allowed IQOS to retain retail touchpoints with their customers during the COVID-19 lockdowns. - Implemented pixel-perfect designs on SPAs, PWAs and SSG front-end applications for EU based clients (IQOS, O2) with complex authentication and authorization requirements and a strong focus on performance, modularity and accessibility. - Revamped developer hiring process, turning an opinion-based, manual process to a set of test-driven challenges that could measure candidates’ performance, reducing take-home challenge review time from 3 to 1 day.
- Led a team of three developers to develop and launch a real estate administration SaaS platform that included a web application, mobile app for tenants, and an admin dashboard for landlords. Successfully introduced the product to the Mexican market in 2017. - Designed an architecture focused on fast prototyping and iterability, implemented CI/CD pipelines to build and deploy frontend and cellphone apps, leveraged TDD to detect errors locally and added monitoring to spot production issues early. - Led technical product strategy, aligning engineering efforts with business goals.
