Product-minded software engineer
I build products across the stack — from thoughtful iOS interfaces to dependable Go services — and bring the product ownership and cross-cultural leadership needed to make them useful.
Selected work
I work across the product lifecycle: understanding the problem, shaping the architecture, writing the software, and improving it through feedback.
A student-focused platform spanning a native SwiftUI app, Go API, administration portal, and PostgreSQL. I continue to develop it while exploring practical deployment, product validation, and its potential for commercialization.
An evolving iOS finance tracker built independently from product idea to implementation. The project presents the early working interface, the MVVM direction, and the decisions behind a codebase designed to grow.
A six-person full-stack streaming platform. My contribution centered on the user-profile API, CRUD workflows, JWT authentication, and messaging through MassTransit — work made explicit in the project.
Experience
Industry experience across production backend services, cloud infrastructure, and customer-facing web delivery.
Kargo · Waterford, Ireland
Contributed to production Go microservices and Snowflake-backed data workflows in ad-tech infrastructure. I worked across implementation, testing, reviews, observability, and architecture discussions, using AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, Grafana, and SolarWinds to help deploy, monitor, and troubleshoot dependable services.
Quindi · Porto, Portugal
Owned a WordPress website from requirements through delivery. I translated management feedback into design and implementation decisions, then tested and refined the result as the project’s sole developer.
