About
I am a Computer Science graduate and senior Java software engineer in a hands-on Java engineering role, where I own system design and architecture decisions, write code every day, and modernize enterprise systems with modern Java and AI.
My career started in start-ups, writing code before tools like ChatGPT existed. Start-up culture taught me ownership, speed and how to stay calm when a live system breaks.
I love coding every day, and I never stop building. My philosophy is that AI is not only a Python story, which is why I closely follow Rod Johnson, the creator of Spring, and his work on Embabel, an agentic AI framework for the JVM.
Projects
An AI assistant that finds similar past tickets and drafts a root-cause summary.
