Staff+ backend/platform engineer with 12+ years across web systems, event-driven backends, edtech platforms, and enterprise integrations. I work best where systems already have history: business workflows, data movement, auth edges, production behavior, and people depending on all of it staying boring.

Right now I am the senior IC across four engineering pods at an auction platform. The work is mostly TypeScript services around Kafka/Avro, ERP integrations, and operational workflows. I still write and review code, but a lot of my day to day is in production triage, architecture review, and helping teams keep shared systems understandable.

A concrete example: I led the replacement of a Boomi iPaaS layer with an in-house microservice between operational systems and Dynamics 365 ERP. Migrated flow by flow over 12 months with a team of four, using feature switches and rollback plans. Integration errors dropped by about 85%.

Earlier, an application architect on a multi-tenant edtech SaaS used by thousands of schools, working across PHP/Laravel monoliths, React/React Native, OpenShift/Kubernetes adoption, SAML IdP maintenance, and legacy password migrations to bcrypt.

Looking for senior/staff backend or platform roles involving mature systems, integrations, event flows, auth edges, operational workflows, or production problems worth thinking about.

Location: Netherlands / GMT+2

Remote: Yes. Experienced with US / UK clients; open to timezone overlap.

Hands-on CTO / principal engineer with 20+ years in software engineering. Technical co-founder, CTO/CPO, architect, fractional product owner, and engineering lead.

I work best at the intersection of architecture and implementation: designing data-heavy systems well, then staying close enough to the engineering to keep latency, operability, failure modes, and tradeoffs grounded in reality.

Selected work: fractional lead/architect for ground-up KPI platform rewrite; 5-person FTE team; company later exited for €10M. CTO/CPO for crypto/data product; live matching of 1M+ complex dynamic slices against continuous on-chain/off-chain metric streams; high-throughput, near-real-time latency suitable for trading workflows. ClickHouse-backed worker pipelines processing billions of rows/day while preserving near-real-time downstream availability.

Looking for freelance, contract, fractional CTO, principal engineer, technical lead, or data engineering work. Best fit: backend-heavy products, analytics/data infrastructure, complex internal tools, low-latency pipelines, or early-stage teams that need one senior person with both breadth and depth.

Hi, I am a industrial engineer and software dev from South Africa now based in Helsink, Finland. Previously worked as a first technical hire at a logistics start up automating business processes. Now working on low level languages due to a curiosity to more deeply understand sfotware development. Also leveraging AI assisted dev to create multiple full stack side projects for bridging gaps between digital services and real world needs.
