About

About

I’m a software engineer and architect who cares as much about teams and systems as about code. As Head of Engineering at Vendoo, I focus on building products that hold up under growth — and organizations that can keep shipping without burning out.

My day-to-day spans architecture, delivery, and people: TypeScript, modern web stacks, and the boring fundamentals that make software dependable. I’m also an open source maintainer — best known for SQLTools for VS Code.
