Hi there!

I’m an experienced Backend Engineer with a passion for building scalable and efficient systems, primarily using Elixir. My expertise lies in backend development, API design, cloud infrastructure, and distributed systems.

I enjoy tackling complex technical challenges and have a track record of delivering high-impact solutions in distributed, high-performance systems.

Recent Experience

At Bluecode, a European payment system, I played a pivotal role in enhancing user engagement, particularly through the launch of a new loyalty program. I refined our GraphQL backend for better data access, implemented an idempotency layer across various APIs to ensure safe retries, and transitioned to async processing with Oban, which greatly improved system performance and reliability.

Past Experience

Before Bluecode, I led the backend team at Gustav, a YC-backed startup, where we built a robust SaaS platform using Elixir/Phoenix and established a solid cloud infrastructure on AWS. I oversaw the architecture of microservices, implemented serverless functions to scale specific tasks, and contributed to open-source Elixir libraries such as ex_aws_ssm and ecto_shortuuid.
