Experienced CTO and Full-Stack Developer with 15+ years in software development and 7+ years leading engineering teams. Currently serving as CTO at Lympid, a BaFin-regulated fintech platform that enables businesses to raise capital through fractional investment products — covering real estate, private equity, luxury goods, and more. At Lympid, I architect the technical infrastructure and lead the development of the platform that makes alternative investments accessible to everyone.

Previously served as CTO at Chipp'd for 7 years (2017–2024), where I built and scaled remote engineering teams, developed IoT platforms serving thousands of users, and led the creation of Filtered, a digital art curation platform. Also served as Analytics Lead at Polkastarter (2021–2024), building comprehensive cross-platform analytics infrastructure from scratch. Founded FullFlex, a digital agency, in 2012, demonstrating entrepreneurial experience in building and scaling technical organizations.

Core expertise spans the full technology stack: Node.js, TypeScript, React, Solidity, PHP, Ruby, and Python, with deep experience in fintech platforms, data infrastructure, and IoT. Proven track record of managing distributed teams, making critical architectural decisions, and delivering scalable solutions across fintech, data analytics, and IoT domains. Microsoft Certified Professional Developer with a passion for staying at the forefront of emerging technologies while maintaining robust engineering practices.
