About me

I am a solution architect and senior backend developer with almost 30 years of experience. Since 1996 I have been designing and delivering integration solutions for large enterprises – telecom, banking, insurance and EU institutions.

I enjoy end-to-end architecture: from IoT devices and streaming platforms through API gateways, central authentication and message-driven integrations, to connecting enterprise systems. I build backends mainly in Jakarta EE, Spring Boot and Go, and reach for Rust where it fits. When a project needs it, I cover the frontend and DevOps as well.

I have repeatedly led legacy migrations and advised company leadership – including independent reviews of vendor proposals. On the side I build local AI/RAG systems on Kubernetes and I am learning Rust. Linux has been my daily driver for years.
