About

Most of my recent work has been at a Ecommerce agency, where I build backend applications, integrations and infrastructure for e-commerce and internal business platforms. My work ranges from Magento 2 integrations and async processing pipelines to internal tooling, automation and self-hosted infrastructure. I enjoy building systems that are reliable, maintainable and observable. Whether that’s a Laravel application, an integration platform or the infrastructure underneath it. Outside of work I like building projects that give me energy and let me explore new technologies and open source software.

I prefer pragmatic engineering over unnecessary complexity. I enjoy building systems that are reliable, maintainable, and observable.
