// Hi,
I’m a Software Engineer
E-Commerce / Project Manager / Lead Developer
I design and build the back-end systems real businesses run on — distributed, event-driven platforms in PHP/Symfony, Java/Spring Boot, Node.js and Go, shipped with Docker and Kubernetes and, increasingly, wired into LLMs.

// services
Three ways I help teams: designing and building the back end, putting AI to work inside real products, and getting all of it into production — reliably, and more than once.
Enterprise applications on Symfony, Laravel, Java/Spring Boot and Node.js. System design for distributed, event-driven platforms. Bank and third-party API integrations, CRM platforms, and performance work across caching, load balancing and database optimisation.
LLM integration into existing products (GPT, Claude), n8n automation pipelines for content, review and deployment workflows, and self-hosted AI agent deployment and orchestration.
Dockerised deployments, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines and Linux server administration — plus leading development teams of 4-6 through structured planning, code review and architecture guidance.
// the stack
Follow a request from the edge down to the platform it runs on. These are the tools I reach for at each layer — and why.
L0 EDGE
Where requests arrive — balanced, cached and served close to the user.
L1 API
Clear, versioned contracts in front of the domain logic.
L2 CORE
The business rules — and, increasingly, the LLMs working beside them.
L3 EVENTS
Events and workflows that let services move independently.
L4 DATA
The right store for every access pattern — and a cache in front of the hot ones.
L5 PLATFORM
Containers, pipelines and servers that make every deploy boring.
// products
Beyond client work: an AI SaaS, a real-time risk engine and a self-hosted agent platform — each one designed, built and run end to end.

AI-powered CV optimization SaaS. Credit-based pricing with Stripe integration, plus automated SEO content pipelines built on n8n, the Claude API and Notion.
Fintech · Real-time · Founder / Engineer
AI-powered crypto risk analysis engine. A modular decision engine that turns futures signals into risk-adjusted decisions, fed by a real-time data pipeline running live in production.
Infrastructure · AI · Personal infrastructure
Personal infrastructure project. n8n-based automation pipelines for content generation, review and deployment, plus a self-hosted AI agent with dedicated identity, memory and tool-configuration modules.
