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, serving thousands of customers daily.

Currently leading backend development for the digital onboarding journey, integrating identity-verification providers such as Identomat and Keepz. The process enables customers to complete onboarding and receive internet banking access remotely — a journey that previously required visiting a branch.

My work also includes developing the salary-project onboarding flow, integrating third-party services, and optimizing performance-sensitive T-SQL operations within a high-transaction banking environment.

Dynamics 365 CRM Modernization — Elemental Computing

Backend and platform engineering for enterprise automation systems built around Microsoft Dynamics 365.

A central part of my work was redesigning and consolidating the AutomationsHub platform into a cleaner, maintainable architecture. I adapted the system to integrate with OpenWebUI, developed custom plugins and supporting services, and improved the platform’s extensibility and operational reliability.

I also worked on performance-sensitive business processes, including transaction-sensitive workflows, while keeping implementation and customer data confidential.

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.
