01 / Areas of focus

From an idea to a working system.

I connect software leadership with architecture, development, and operations.

Software leadership and architecture

I turn product goals into technical decisions and design maintainable software architectures with clear responsibilities for the teams building them.

Product development from the ground up

I take new ideas from requirements to working products, planning development, integrations, and operational needs together.

Digitization and modernization

I assess existing processes and software to shape practical paths for digitization, renewal, and incremental modernization.

Payment systems

I work on payment products, integrations, and service flows, treating reliability and operability as part of the design.

Live streaming, WebRTC, and Wowza

I combine WebRTC, SIP, and Wowza expertise with system architecture for live streaming platforms, media distribution, and real-time communication.

Scalable systems

For systems intended to serve thousands of users, I design distributed architecture, load balancing, networking, and cloud/DevOps capabilities together.
