Freelance Full-Stack Software Engineer
Software engineer with 23+ years of experience, including 20 years professionally building web applications. Specialized in PHP, Symfony, C#, .NET and modern full-stack technologies. Track record of leading teams, architecting scalable systems, and delivering complex business applications. Passionate about clean code, pragmatic solutions, and continuous improvement.
Driven by a passion for technology, I've been building software from an early age — with web development and the ecosystem around it as my home base from the start. Especially in an era increasingly driven and accelerated by AI, I firmly believe that standing still means falling behind: I never stop learning, exploring, and pushing myself forward.
I don't just focus on the technical side — I own the full stack, from architecture to delivery. Client experience, usability, and user experience are equally important. As a realistic perfectionist, I have a clear view of what's feasible and deliver quality work efficiently.
Every project comes with genuine passion and empathy. Understand first, then build — I love diving into a client's business logic and developing the right solution for it. I thrive in an informal atmosphere with clear goals — where professionalism and a good team dynamic go hand in hand.
