ABOUT ME

I co-run SweetPopcorn.Studio, where we build software for companies that need more than a template. Our products are routero, a platform for the Route Compatibility Check that lets operators carry out an RCC quickly, document it properly and sign it off, and kkmOS, a crisis and disaster management platform used by authorities and emergency services. My part spans the whole stack, from the architecture down to the implementation, and from the .NET backend to the frontend.

I help companies solve the technical problems they cannot solve on the side — from architecture through to implementation. As a fractional CTO I advise on technology choices, run code audits and clean up development processes. The hands-on work is mostly AI and automation: integrating LLMs, building RAG pipelines, and connecting devices over IoT. What I deliver is meant to still make sense in two years — not spaghetti code that someone has to unpick later.

Malsati is a recipe platform I designed and built from scratch — authentic recipes from around the world, with the regional context that usually gets lost. The backend is C# / .NET modelled with Domain-Driven Design and domain events on top of PostgreSQL, with Meilisearch doing the search. It is the project where I get to take an architecture idea all the way through to production without a committee in the way.

I worked on the concept and development of an IoT stack built around the Digital Twin Definition Language, written in .NET on top of Microsoft Orleans. Users could define their own vocabulary and build a knowledge graph from it, then query and maintain that graph through a range of APIs and applications. Alongside the backend I led the web side, developed concepts for where the stack should go next, and contributed to working groups such as the Self-Description working group of GAIA-X.

I was part of the eOCS project at eurofunk, which offers a digital command center solution for emergency services. The frontend is Angular, backed by a Spring backend. I broke features down, worked out the technical and UX concepts behind them, built them, and guarded code quality in merge reviews. One of my favourite tasks was building custom form controls and reusable components in general. I also kept the software architecture sustainable by modularising it and enforcing boundaries between those modules, and spent time mentoring and training colleagues. On-site I analysed bugs and system behaviour — rendering performance and tracking down memory leaks were a particular focus.
