About me

I am a highly motivated and self-confident engineer. My experience spans .NET and C++ desktop systems and cloud-native Web3 platforms. I worked in blockchain security, intellectual property, smart water and retail. My approach combines solid architecture, technical leadership and DevSecOps culture. I use AI to move from an idea to a working tool in days, and some of those tools are public and open source.
