03 · About

Systems that stay correct as they scale

From high-volume aviation workflows to fintech and AI-native platforms, my work centres on systems where correctness matters: financial calculations, auditable workflows and AI-assisted financial operations.

I conceptualized backend systems supporting on-premise and cloud deployment models, incorporating PII encryption, data isolation and GDPR compliance requirements across sensitive financial workflows.

what I bring

AI-native systems

LLM orchestration, RAG and agentic workflows with human approval gates, built on auditable, event-driven foundations.

Distributed systems & DDD

Modular monolith → distributed services with DDD, CQRS, Event Sourcing and messaging (NServiceBus). Includes production debugging of concurrency and data-consistency issues.

Technical leadership

Architecture direction, design reviews, technology selection and engineering standards across multiple product initiatives.
