Executive statement

Fractional CTO and hands-on engineer with 20+ years in software development. I have held tech lead and CTO roles in large companies and worked with teams at Klarna, Revolut, Coinbase, Uber Eats and Coursera. Earlier I founded a telecom company, grew it to 100+ people and exited, so I think about budgets and priorities from the owner's side. Today I am building my own AI health product, Symptomatica, and alongside it I take a few client engagements on a project or part-time basis: technical leadership, architecture and code reviews, MVPs, web platforms, AI integrations and automation. I still write production code, and I bring in my own small team when a project needs more hands, with handover agreed up front. I use AI heavily in delivery, but experience decides what to build, what to skip and what will break later. Clients get senior judgment and fast, working software without a full-time hire.

Leadership scope

Founder and CEO of a telecom company grown to 100+ people: hiring, budgets, technology direction and the exit. Tech lead and CTO roles in large companies: architecture, delivery process and engineering teams. Today I work as a fractional CTO and hands-on engineer and lead my own small delivery team on client projects, with decision rights over architecture, stack, delivery process and team composition.
