delivery profile
Best fit for teams that need a senior engineer who can untangle domain complexity, improve reliability, and keep stakeholder conversations user-focused.

Outcome-driven engineer meets gym rat
$ cat profile.md
For 12+ years, I have built production software across payments, public transport, sustainability, marketing, and operational tooling. I like the middle ground where architecture has to be thoughtful, delivery has to be practical, and the users still need it to work on Monday morning.
Away from the keyboard I live in Kudelstaart with my girlfriend Lara. I enjoy the gym, co-op board games, and just enough The Office to keep my quotes dangerously available.

Keep the channel warm for the right project.
I am not taking on new freelance work right now. If you have a future project that needs senior Java/Kotlin delivery, thoughtful architecture, or reliable platform work, send the specifics and I will get back to you when timing makes sense.
