Engineering leader, over a decade building software, 5+ years leading teams.
I run a team at Glassnode, behind Studio, data viz, the public APIs and more.
I built Bitwala's apps from scratch and grew with it past 200,000 customers.
I consult through Kilta, and ship my own things: TabPilot, featured by Apple, and GitPT, an on-device commit-message CLI.
Full-stack, design-minded, hands on.
Reading, writing, sculpting, and always learning.
I make things in my own time too, because I like making them. Useful or beautiful, ideally both.
I'm still involved in Kilta, and a member of TechSquat, a non-profit co-work and co-live community.
Below, the signals I actually track: where the week goes, and a heart rate off my wrist.
As an engineering manager, I grew from a small mobile team, to a greenfield portfolio product, to data delivery, managing up to 12 engineers across two teams. That meant coaching, setting engineering strategy, and holding the bar on engineering practices, while staying hands on across frontend, backend, and BI (anywhere from 20% to 80% of my time, depending on the needs of the team). I worked on introducing an empowered engineering culture on a new full-stack team, with trunk-based development and small, continuously shipped changes. Later, we spread the model more broadly. I helped engineers grow into bigger roles, three to senior and two moving into data engineering, and kept optimizing the teams to ship faster and more reliably.
My teams at Glassnode owned the data delivery mechanisms, data visualization, information architecture, billing, public APIs, permissions, BI, and content pages. A server-side-rendering migration enabled new products (e.g. Market Compass) to be released in a single day. An in-house AI agent platform lets non-technical people safely ship to production with zero side effects (limited access & robust harness). I owned direct data delivery for institutional clients, co-developed the Bitcoin Vector with SwissBlock and built tooling for Coinbase, and opened a self-serve purchase channel now driving ~15% of all B2B revenue.
Other notable work includes a charting rebuild enabling data teams to ship new metrics into Studio in under a day, payments migrations, automation of BI processes, global search, external AI chat and internal AI tooling, experimental data delivery mechanisms (MCP & CLI), direct engineering support for institutional customers, and performance and UX improvements.
Currently, I'm designing Studio's information-architecture overhaul end-to-end, an entity-first data model that lets the product access data from any point of view (by exchange, network, treasury, or any other facet), from concept and user-feedback sessions through to the final solution.
Bitwala offered a German bank account with the possibility of investing in crypto and using your crypto with ease. I built the native apps (Android & iOS) and web client from scratch shortly after joining, which set the foundation for the entire product. From there, I grew alongside the company as it scaled to over 500,000 customers.
My responsibilities over time included releasing the native apps to the app stores, overseeing production releases across all components, and maintaining banking-related AWS services. Later, I managed the neobank team working on the banking side of the product.
Tech lead of company-wide projects, e.g. Bitwala to Nuri rebranding (managed 6 people across 3 teams), learning section within the app, standing orders, scheduled investments, etc.
Co-owned and built an on-demand custom-apparel e-shop from scratch as its sole frontend engineer. The system auto-generated ads and over 200,000 pixel-perfect assets, sending each ready-to-print design straight to the printing provider.
Full-stack eng. and advisory work on client projects (XTND, Klarity, Enehano, and many others).
A visual social dapp built on Lens protocol. It received multiple grants, and direct support from the Aave team. As part of this project, we've also launched a very successful verification campaign directly on the Lens protocol that generated worthwhile revenue.
Discontinued due to lack of time and capacity to manage the project.
Native apps published on Apple App Store & Google Play Store, and a web app. Used GCP on the backend.
A Safari tab-search extension for macOS, featured by Apple in the App Store.
An open-source git CLI alias/hook that writes your commit messages and PR descriptions with an LLM, built for on-device models like Apple's Foundation Models, Ollama, and LM Studio. Also works with OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.
Mobile strategy & action game created in Unity (C#). Contains unique custom controls for magic casting mechanics, tiling mechanics for game map (islands), custom pathfinding, AI and a working multiplayer mode.
My personal site as a live systems playground: a "build pulse" visualizing my real integration-event activity across every project since 2013 (via a local dbt pipeline), plus live signals from my phone streamed in near-real-time. Also serves this machine-readable CV.
