About

I'm a backend and AI engineer with 10+ years of experience helping teams ship reliable systems.

I design architectures, integrate LLMs safely, and help startups avoid scaling and cost traps on AWS and modern cloud stacks.

Based in Berlin and working with clients worldwide as a fractional CTO, architecture advisor, or hands-on systems engineer for 4–40 person teams.

Writing

These articles reflect how I think about teams, systems, and long-term maintainability—the same lens I use when advising clients.

How I work

  • 60–90 minute architecture or AI integration audit
  • Short written summary with recommendations
  • Ongoing advisory or implementation if it's a good fit
