Software Engineer — backend, cloud platforms, and AI-assisted delivery.
“The best code is the code that doesn’t exist.”
14+ years building distributed Java systems across fintech, home automation, analytics, and e-commerce — from migrating 21 services to the cloud to architecting a real-time liquidity-intelligence platform. These days I ship complex polyglot systems with an AI-first workflow: agentic coding, structured-context engineering, and verification gates that keep the output honest.
- Building Tickonomics — a quant-research platform that computes a proprietary Composite Liquidity Index from live market data (Java 25 + Python).
- Tinkering with Home Assistant add-ons and self-hosted AI tooling.
- Making LLM coding agents do the boring 90% so I can own the hard 10%.
Clean domain models · honest observability · systems that survive when nobody’s watching · deleting more code than I add.
💻 Fun fact: I once designed a ~300-entity database for an enterprise platform — and still advocate writing less code.
