I design and grow web applications that are robust and ready to scale — always starting from the need.
Over ten years of web development, most of them as a lead. Today I mostly work on architecture, scalability, performance and robustness, and I set up AI-assisted development processes end to end. My strength: bridging what the client needs and what the team builds — I write the specifications and take part in prioritisation.

01 · Architecture
Architecture
Principles before tools: a model that mirrors the business, clearly separated responsibilities, decisions you can revisit without breaking everything.
Domain modelling
Boundaries and responsibilities
Reversible decisions
02 · Scalability & performance
Scalability & performance
Systems that handle load without a rewrite: async processing, caching, real time. Measure before optimising.
Async processing
Caching and real time
Profiling and optimisation
03 · Robustness
Robustness
Code that never fails silently: centralised business rules, automated tests, continuous integration, production error tracking.
Automated tests
Continuous integration and delivery
Monitoring
04 · AI process
AI process
AI speeds up execution; it replaces neither framing nor judgement. I give it a precise frame — specifications, documented context — and check what it produces.
Coding agents
Docs as the source of truth
Tests as guardrails

Leadership & business
Understanding the need, writing it down clearly, then moving the team forward. Translating both ways: technical constraints for the business, business stakes for the team.
Technical lead on Boxi, the ERP of this self-storage company: architecture, reliability and an incremental, module-by-module modernisation plan to support growth. I write the specifications, take part in prioritisation and set up an AI-assisted development process.
