Five years in, the pattern is clear: I turn requirements into working software, and working software into compounding business outcomes. Below, the full ledger.
§ 01RULE · 01
Ship end-to-end.
From whiteboard to production. I own the whole stack: frontend, backend, data, infra. No hand-offs, no excuses.
§ 02RULE · 02
AI is the new standard.
Generative AI, RAG, agents, ML, integrated where they earn their keep, not as decoration.
§ 03RULE · 03
Performance is truth.
LCP, TTFB, p95. Observable numbers I can defend. Pretty UIs that feel slow are broken UIs.
§ 04RULE · 04
Systems, not sites.
I design normalized schemas, RBAC, and CI/CD on day one, so you can hire a team later and the scaffolding holds.
§ 05RULE · 05
Write it down.
Every project ships with docs, a runbook, and a seed, so you or the next engineer can take it from here.
§ 06RULE · 06
Be someone to call.
Deadlines, diffs, decisions: responsive, plain-spoken, and a pleasure to work with.

§ 05 · ABOUT
Software engineer. Builder-first.
Five years in, across fifteen live products and a long list of clients. One guiding rule: ship it, measure it, iterate. Pursuing graduate studies in Computational Physics at the University of Vienna from 2026.
I turn complex challenges into elegant, shipping software.
Five years in. Started with a contract for a US-based insurance e-commerce platform while still at university, building recommendation systems and segmentation pipelines. Today I'm a full-stack engineer at Gott Data, a startup based in Reykjavik, Iceland.
Across web development, enterprise SaaS, cloud architecture, data analytics, and machine learning, I design and build systems that don't just demo well, but hold up to real load, real users, and real money on the line.
My interests sit at the foundations of computer science. Pursuing graduate studies in Computational Physics at the University of Vienna from 2026. Most recently, I designed my own programming language and wrote its interpreter and bytecode virtual machine from scratch.
