Curriculum
Twenty years of backend work, mostly Go and Java. The PDF has the full history.
Software that's maintainable,
not just functional.
Senior Backend Engineer with 20+ years building and scaling distributed systems, APIs, and cloud infrastructure for fintech, SaaS, trading, and blockchain platforms. I work primarily in Go and Java, ship on Kubernetes and AWS, and care about reliability, clean architecture, and pragmatic technical decisions.
My background spans mission-critical banking systems at Banco Santander, large-scale enterprise platforms, and cloud-native microservices for high-growth companies across Europe. I've led engineering teams, modernised legacy monoliths into distributed services, and worked side by side with founders to turn complex requirements into reliable products.
Right now I'm also building NeverGoBlank — an AI-powered interview-prep platform with a Go backend, desktop app, and an MCP server wiring LLMs into a real workflow. It's where I own the full stack of decisions, from architecture to shipping.
