01About

I'm a backend engineer who has spent the last several years inside the machinery of European finance. I've worked at a leading market infrastructure provider and at a major international bank, building the systems that move trades from execution to final settlement.

My work sits where correctness, auditability and throughput all matter at once. I care about clean architecture, strong automated testing and pipelines that let teams ship with confidence. I enjoy modernising legacy platforms without disrupting the business that depends on them.
