How I Can Help

Whether you need strategic leadership or hands-on engineering, I adapt to what your company needs right now.

Tech Advisory

Where can AI actually move the needle and where is it just hype? I help founders and executives cut through complexity and choose the right path before it gets expensive to change course.

Tech Due Diligence

I dig into codebases, infrastructure, and team dynamics to give you a clear picture, before you sign the deal. For investors, acquirers, and boards who want the state real state of things and not just the pitch deck.

Freelance Development

I build with TypeScript, Node.js, React, and AWS. I've shipped pipelines processing millions of events and hardened Kubernetes clusters for production. Systems that scale and stay up.

Who I Am

I've been turning complex problems into working software since 2006.

Over the years I've co-founded companies in Berlin and Buenos Aires, led engineering teams, and built products for clients from fintech to fitness, across the US and Europe. Sometimes I've been the one writing the code, and sometimes the one deciding what to build.

That dual perspective is what I bring to every engagement. Hands-on technical depth combined with real business acumen.
