Legacy modernization
Domain separation, explicit contracts, gradual migrations, and decisions that respect the business already running.
Java, Spring, domain services, integrations, and controlled technical debt.
Architecture, product, and execution
Currently Head of Architecture at Lakaut
I design and modernize real systems: digital signatures, identity, external integrations, Java legacy, Next.js, PostgreSQL, and AI automation.
- Architecture
- digital signatures, identity, integrations
- Leadership
- code review, mentoring, standards
- Full Stack
- Next.js, Java, PostgreSQL, Docker
- AI Engineering
- LLMs, agents, automation
Where I create leverage
I do not sell hours: I reduce technical risk and speed up hard decisions.
My edge is connecting architecture, development, infrastructure, and product when teams need to modernize without breaking production.
Product architecture
Stack decisions, security, scalability, DX, technical documentation, and explicit trade-offs.
Current experience making cross-cutting architecture decisions.
AI applied to real workflows
LLM automations, internal pipelines, human-approved agents, and tools that help teams ship.
Content systems, audits, assisted generation, and human-in-the-loop flows.
Senior full stack execution
Internal products, dashboards, auth, APIs, databases, and production frontend with operational judgment.
Next.js, React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Prisma, Docker, and Railway.
Professional fit
What I am looking for, and what is not a fit.
What I am looking for
- Senior or staff roles with architecture, modernization, and real technical ownership.
- Teams that need to connect product, backend, frontend, security, and infrastructure.
- Work where public evidence, quality, and operations matter more than technical theater.
What is not a fit
- Purely junior roles, repetitive support, or maintenance with no decision space.
- Cultures that value ticket volume above technical judgment and learning.
- Offers without clear role context, modality, stack, or compensation range.
Featured cases
Public evidence of how I think and build.
These projects show architecture, security, tooling, product judgment, and the ability to finish usable software.
