Work

I build and run production software alone. Before that, seven years architecting cloud platforms for organisations with thousands of engineers. A curated selection.

Designed, built, launched, and operated end to end by one person.

Invoicing platform for freelancers and Swiss SMEs

Heftli interface

Swiss freelancers and SMEs need QR-Bill invoicing, a national standard most international tools support badly or not at all. The alternatives were enterprise accounting suites or spreadsheets.

I designed, built, and launched a production multi-tenant SaaS platform. I operate every layer: the Supabase and Stripe infrastructure, the migrations, the billing edge cases, and the frontend.

Relocation platform for the international community

Expats in Switzerland interface

Professionals relocating to Switzerland needed a reliable, practical resource. I wanted a platform that operates at near-zero cost while still handling dynamic features and lead capture.

I evolved it from a static site to a live platform serving the international community, running on cost-efficient cloud primitives and background workers.

Where the patterns come from

Architect and delivery lead across four practice areas.

CLOUDREACH · 2017–2024

UBS · BP · UNILEVER · SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC

Cloud platform and migration

  • Architected self-service infrastructure platforms reducing developer lab provisioning from days to under 10 minutes across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
  • Designed landing zones and IaC patterns for multi-environment cloud migrations, ensuring safe deployment paths and clear ownership.
  • Led cloud cost optimisation programmes that reduced waste and improved cost predictability for multi-account estates.
  • Migrated suitable event-driven and API services to serverless architectures to reduce operational toil.

Security and governance

  • Built automated golden image pipelines with Packer to deliver repeatable, hardened server baselines and eliminate configuration drift.
  • Designed RBAC models and least-privilege access patterns to tighten production governance and prevent privilege creep.
  • Developed custom zone management tooling and change workflows for Bind9 DNS, providing operators with a safe, auditable update path.

Data and delivery engineering

  • Delivered dependable batch processing pipelines with predictable run times, retry behaviour, and operational visibility.
  • Architected a central data lake and ingestion patterns for large-scale analytics, keeping production systems decoupled.
  • Standardised CI/CD deployment paths across multi-team application delivery to reduce manual steps and drift.

Web and content platforms

  • Enabled sub-second filtered search with date and location aggregations over a high-volume Elasticsearch index.

Publishing platforms at volume

Freelance and agency work before Cloudreach.

2012–2015

  • Maintained fast, stable performance for a multilingual news platform across Joomla and WordPress under sustained editorial traffic.
  • Supported high-content-volume publishing for a large learning community using hardened LAMP stack patterns.
  • Designed a shared industrial CMS platform across PHP and Python as a common publishing backbone for multiple editorial properties.

Co-founded a Zurich adventure-travel GmbH and ran it as CTO and product owner alongside my Cloudreach work. Built the WooCommerce booking platform with a custom iCal calendar and Stripe payments in two currencies, managed a contracted network of 110+ outdoor guides across 12 countries, and grew organic traffic 6.7x year on year.

Spofibo UK2015–2018

Co-founder and CTO. Public-sector cloud work, among the first teams putting AWS into production in that context.

Videouri~2011 · Archived

Video search engine built solo in Madrid. Unified discovery across YouTube, Dailymotion, Vimeo, and Metacafe. Foundational work in caching, API consumption, and full-stack delivery.
