Product engineering
I turn business workflows and user needs into small, measurable and technically sustainable increments.
PRODUCT ENGINEERING · LONDON
Senior Full-Stack Product Engineer
I design, build and operate digital products end to end: from architecture, identity and APIs to web experiences that solve real problems.

Engineering with product perspective
01 · PROFILE
Working principles
SOLID · KISS · DRY · Secure by default · Sustainable evolution
I am a Senior Full-Stack Product Engineer with more than 18 years designing, integrating, deploying and operating web platforms for users and organisations across five international markets.
I stay close to the business problem while remaining deeply hands-on. I translate complex requirements into secure, maintainable capabilities, support teams from discovery to production and make decisions grounded in SOLID, KISS and DRY.
My experience combines architecture, implementation, code review, mentoring, documentation and production support. Before optimising a solution, I make sure it is understandable, observable and ready to evolve.
02 · CAPABILITIES
I do not separate technical strategy from user experience. These are the capabilities I connect to move an idea into production.
I turn business workflows and user needs into small, measurable and technically sustainable increments.
I design REST contracts, domain models, integrations and modular boundaries that can change without breaking consumers.
I implement OAuth2/OIDC, JWT, RBAC, 2FA, multi-tenancy and KYC/KYB flows with secure defaults.
I build generators, SDKs, pipelines and internal tools that reduce repetitive work and standardise delivery.
I facilitate decisions, review architecture and code, document rationale and help knowledge remain within the team.
I investigate application, data, access and infrastructure incidents and turn operational learning into durable improvements.
