About

For the last three years I’ve been building backend systems that don’t get a second chance to be right ‐ banking infrastructure, real-time multiplayer backends, enterprise integrations. That’s shaped how I work: I reach for clear interfaces over clever ones, instrument what I ship so problems surface before they become incidents, and build inside processes with senior review baked in, not around them.

Outside of code, I play chess ‐ mostly for the same reason I like backend work: thinking several moves ahead beats reacting to whatever just broke.

Selected Work

Internet Banking ‐ ProCredit Bank

Backend engineering for ProCredit Bank’s production internet banking platform.

Built the bank’s first online client onboarding flow, replacing branch-only registration ‐ within two months, 80% of new client registrations moved online. Integrated Identomat identity verification and Keepz to enable secure remote KYC without a branch visit.

Also delivered the Salary Project onboarding flow, cutting accountants’ onboarding time for new employees by 95%+, and optimized performance-sensitive T-SQL operations in a high-transaction banking environment.

Kalakobana ‐ Satave

Co-founded Satave and designed the backend architecture for Kalakobana, a real-time multiplayer game.

I built the multiplayer communication layer with ASP.NET Core and SignalR, introduced caching, distributed state handling, and integrated OpenAI-powered functionality where it supports the gameplay experience.

I own the backend lifecycle‐from architecture and implementation to deployment, production reliability, and preparing the platform to scale as the player base grows.
