Passionate about well-crafted code, I design software systems that are sustainable, scalable and maintainable at low cost.
Technical excellence also means caring for those who come after us, making their work smoother, safer, and more joyful.
My craft expertise enables me to influence the implementation of modern software engineering practices such as User-first, Test-first, Contract-first, DDD, BDD, ATDD, and xClean (Archi, Code, API) within technical teams.
I enjoy co-analysing, elaborating test strategies, designing, implementing and delivering reliable business services and APIs within complex distributed architecture environments.
My expertise spans Java, Kotlin, Scala, TypeScript, and Rust, together with modern application frameworks such as Spring Boot, Quarkus, Angular, and Vue.js. I thrive in roles ranging from software developer to technical lead and technical architect, combining hands-on engineering and producing high-quality living documentation for applications and architectures.
I also bring hands-on experience with key infrastructure components — including workflow engines, message brokers, SQL and NoSQL databases, proxies, and authentication and authorisation protocols — complemented by DevOps practices such as infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration, monitoring, and alerting.

An opportunity to rediscover and understand the technique of skiing in depth and then teach it to kids and adults, beginner and intermediate levels. This activity is still a hobby.
As a former top-level sportsman, this is an opportunity to discover the science of physical preparation, and to help young people and adults achieve their sporting goals. This activity is still a hobby.
I've been working as IT engineer in large and medium-sized companies for almost thirty years. Main activities being software craftsmanship, software development, and software architecture.
I started my career at the academy, then quickly moved on to industry, where I continued my training.
