About Me

I'm a Technical Architect based in Frankfurt, with a proven track record of leading cross-functional teams to deliver secure, scalable, and compliant software solutions across PSD2/API Banking , Healthcare and Telecomdomains.

My work spans end-to-end system design, cloud migration, and performance engineering — from architecting microservices for European banks to migrating legacy on-premise databases to AWS Aurora. I enjoy bridging technical vision with delivery execution and mentoring engineers along the way.
