Turning Ideas Into Digital Reality

A passionate developer who loves creating impactful solutions

Senior Fullstack Architect & AI Engineer with 12+ years of experience specialized in building production-ready Agentic AI Applications.

I leverage Agentic Development & Orchestration to transform traditional software into autonomous systems, utilizing LangChain and LangGraph to design resilient, multi-agent workflows.

I am an expert in implementing Agentic RAG Applications for high-precision data retrieval and building MCP (Model Context Protocol) Servers to seamlessly integrate LLMs with enterprise data sources.

By masterfully combining veteran engineering principles with AI-native tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Windsurf, I deliver high-velocity, scalable solutions for the modern global remote market.

My career spans telecom engineering at Ericsson and Huawei, years of full-stack web development with Angular, React, NestJS, and Node.js across German companies, senior architecture and DevOps with Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and AWS/Azure at 36ZERO Vision — where I also led the company to ISO 27001 certification — and currently building Zynq.News, an AI-powered news audio platform backed by $32,500+ in startup credits from AWS, Google Cloud, and OpenAI. I also mentor the next generation of engineers in Python, Cloud, and AI/ML at Masterschool.
