Work Experience

Senior Backend Engineer

Lifebit Biotech Ltd. | September 2022 – Present

  • Develop automated cloud provisioning engines across AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes, enabling non-technical researchers to instantly launch complex, secure analytics environments without manual IT setup.

  • Engineered dynamic IaC and security modules using Terraform, CloudFormation, and Typescript to automatically configure VPC networks, IAM roles, credentials, and secrets for customer deployments.

  • Built custom image pipelines using Packer, Docker, and Bash to launch containerized interactive workspaces (Jupyter, RStudio, VS Code, Spark EMR) on dynamically provisioned Cloud Virtual Machines.

  • Authored automated GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows to streamline backend service deployments and integrate business logic into cloud environments.

  • Provide specialized infrastructure debugging and support for enterprise clients, troubleshooting complex cloud configuration, network, and live environment incidents.

Project Manager / Tech Lead

Satcom International AG | June 2020 – March 2022

  • Architected end-to-end ERP platform encompassing core business modules (Sales, Billing, Asset Tracking, and HR/Employee Management), establishing system boundary patterns, database schemas, and API contracts.

  • Led engineering execution as hands-on Tech Lead for an 8-person team, balancing active code reviews and technical stack selection with sprint planning, capacity estimation, and delivery timelines.

  • Bridged technical and executive communications, serving as the primary technical contact for enterprise clients, executive leadership, and legal teams to translate business requirements into technical specs.

  • Mentored and upskilled developers, establishing engineering best practices, CI/CD code review gates, and architecture documentation standards to maintain long-term code quality.

Full-Stack Developer

Satcom International AG | May 2019 – June 2020

  • Engineered and maintained core full-stack features for a distributed real-time IoT fleet tracking ecosystem, ensuring high performance, service uptime, and system reliability.

  • Architected real-time telemetry pipelines, ingesting raw TCP packets from IoT vehicle devices, streaming events internally via Apache Kafka, and pushing updates to the Angular frontend using WebSockets.

  • Engineered and maintained backend microservices with Java and Spring Boot, building REST APIs, device management modules, and data ingestion services.

  • Managed cloud-native infrastructure in GCP, containerizing Spring services with Docker and orchestrating deployments, scaling, and database query optimizations across Kubernetes clusters.

Front-End Developer

Satcom International AG | January 2018 – May 2019

  • Designed and developed frontend architecture for LOXY 4.0, a real-time fleet management and asset tracking platform, using Angular (TypeScript).

  • Built real-time telemetry mapping dashboards powered by WebSockets, allowing users to monitor fleet movements live with low latency.

  • Created an in-house Angular component library to ensure UI consistency and speed up development workflows.

Junior Researcher

Institute of Electronics and Informatics Engineering of Aveiro | June 2016 – July 2017

  • Developed DICOM Validator, a web-based platform for evaluating PACS compliance with medical imaging standards, directly contributing to 2 peer-reviewed academic publications.

  • Engineered browser-side DICOM anonymization using Emscripten to compile C++ binaries into WebAssembly, ensuring zero sensitive patient data left the client before validation.

  • Architected full-stack features with an Angular (TypeScript) frontend and Java backend, integrating directly with a custom Gitea instance to manage rule sets.

  • Built a custom Gitea visual editor plugin for community-driven rule management, implementing unified session authentication across Gitea and the Java backend.
