Profil
Senior engineer with 9 years building reliable distributed systems at scale. Led the migration of a 50M-user platform from a monolith to event-driven services, cutting p95 latency by 40%. Comfortable across the stack — TypeScript, Go, Postgres, Kafka — and equally comfortable mentoring a five-person team.

- Designed and shipped a regional data-residency layer that lets each hospital network choose where its data lives — unblocked three enterprise deals worth €4.2M ARR.
- Mentored four engineers from mid to senior; two became tech leads within 18 months.
- Owned the 24/7 on-call rotation; cut sev-1 incidents 60% YoY by adding synthetic monitoring and a load-shedding circuit breaker.
