> about

Software engineer with 16+ years building systems across industries: from factory floors to financial platforms. I work across the full stack, from hardware-facing layers to web applications, leading teams and turning complex requirements into working software.

My work spans embedded systems, distributed backends, and modern web frontends. I've integrated PLCs and serial protocols, built document issuance platforms, and shipped logistics software used in warehouses across multiple countries.
