Summary

As an experienced freelancer with over 25 years of project experience, I work with companies to develop concepts and architectures for demanding, pragmatic, and sustainable software solutions.

My technological focus is on complex systems in the Java/JEE environment, from service-oriented architecture (SOA) to implementing backend services and web portals. In addition, I have extensive expertise in native iOS app development with Objective-C and Cocoa Touch.

In projects, I take on the role of architect, senior developer, or technical lead of teams (up to 10 people).

My broad industry experience in sectors such as the public sector, banking, insurance, telecommunications, and logistics enables me to quickly adapt to new domains.
