Building reliable systems, improving team flow, and shipping across backend, cloud and product execution.
Software engineer with 4 years in IT (3 in Banking & HFT) who codes, deploys and drives process. I've worked across C++, Python, Kotlin, TypeScript, AWS and Kubernetes — from HFT crypto infrastructure to Corda blockchain in regulated banking. I also run Scrum, onboard teams, and bridge tech with delivery.
My background spans from embedded C++ and Corda blockchain to full AWS DevOps and Grafana monitoring stacks — always with end-to-end ownership. At SIX Digital Exchange in Zurich I combined software delivery with Scrum mastery; at Portofino in Zug I built and maintained the monitoring, alerting and deployment infrastructure for crypto market-making — all self-planned.
I contribute to open projects including the Beskid programming language as PO/PM and to ipi.io as Scrum Expert, DevOps and Developer.
