Leading the move of stock management out of a larger service into its own: the plan, the architecture and the safeguards
02About

Writing code since 2012, and I still think about what a system will look like three years from now.

I build digital products that live on the internet - mostly the parts you don't see. APIs, integrations, identity, and the performance work that decides if a platform feels solid or not.

I started with web development in 2012, during my bachelor's degree, when I got the chance to work at a small company. My job there was editing Joomla and WordPress sites with PHP, CSS and HTML. That's where my interest in this field started, and it never really stopped.

Over time I moved to bigger projects and bigger teams. Those years taught me how to deliver good results under tight deadlines without giving up on quality. I also worked with a lot of different languages and frameworks, which taught me how to pick the right tool for each problem.

How I work

  • Design maintainable backend services and integration flows.
  • Build frontend systems that support real product workflows.
  • Improve reliability, performance, testing, and operational clarity.
  • Communicate technical trade-offs clearly with teams and clients.

Type a command, or press Tab to complete

These days most of my work is backend: designing and building server applications, APIs, integration flows, testing, debugging, and helping other developers on the team. I mainly work with .NET, C#, JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, Java, and both SQL and NoSQL databases. I'm also good at optimising things so data loads faster and workflows run smoother.

Next to product work, I spent three years as a researcher at IUST, together with Université Grenoble Alpes, and published papers on hardware security and real-time systems. Research changed how I work as an engineer: I stopped guessing so much and started measuring things instead.

What I optimise for

  • Maintainable beats clever

    I design backend services and integrations with clear boundaries and contracts. That way, the next person, often me two years later, can change one thing without breaking four others.

  • Performance is a requirement, not a phase

    Thirty million requests an hour means there is no room for guessing. First I profile the system, then remove threads that are stuck doing nothing, then fix the slow queries, and only then do I optimise the code. The order matters: that's where the real gains come from.

  • Identity is infrastructure

    I have built identity servers with OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.1 for mobile, web and native apps. Because of that, I think authentication should be one platform capability with one owner, not something every team builds again on its own.

  • Tests that run on the real thing

    With the Cashier Probe framework, I run tests on a real point-of-sale system with real terminals, cash guards, scanners and printers, no mocks. Tests that skip the messy real-world parts are the same tests that pass while production still breaks.

  • Measure before you believe

    Three years of publishing papers taught me not to trust an explanation just because it sounds reasonable, not until there is a number behind it. That habit helps a lot with production debugging too.

  • Clear trade-offs, out loud

    Leading a team for the first time at Fara-control taught me something important: most technical disagreements are really about constraints nobody said out loud. Once you say them clearly, the disagreement usually goes away.

Where my time goes

Currently learning

  • Rust for systems work

    I use it where performance needs to be predictable and memory safety matters. Two projects so far: a network-on-chip simulator with 18 crates, and a disk wiper with zero external dependencies.

  • Android & Kotlin

    The newer part of my job at FocalPay: apps that talk to the cashier system and the hardware in the store, like payment terminals, printers and scanners.

  • AI-assisted fraud detection

    I'm training models to catch data tampering and fraud in accounting records, the kind of thing a manual review usually misses.

  • Marketplace & logistics platform

    Building a full marketplace from the ground up, with an AI layer on the logistics side that gets more throughput out of the same infrastructure.

Teams I have built with

I have always worked with international teams (Sweden, France, Iran), and that's one part of the job I really enjoy.

  • Team gathering at an engineering offsite
  • Colleagues working together at the office
  • Development team during a project milestone
  • Team photo from an earlier project
03Academic

GPA 4.0 - ranked first in class

I obtained an MSc in computer engineering from IUST with a GPA of 4.0, placing me at the top of my class. The programme pushed me toward computer architecture and real-time systems, which is where the rest of my research came from.

  • Graduated top of class with a 4.0 GPA
  • Specialised in computer architecture, real-time systems and hardware security
  • Continued at IUST as a researcher after graduating
  • Work published in IEEE journals and international conferences

Researcher

IUST

Jan 2019 - Apr 2022

In collaboration with Université Grenoble Alpes, France

After graduating I stayed at IUST as a researcher, collaborating with Université Grenoble Alpes in France. My work focused on hardware security: one project investigated and identified vulnerable points in high-level code during clock-glitching attacks on RISC-V chips, and another set out to locate sensitive code blocks in C/C++ and in the assembly they compile to.

Research focus

  • Hardware securityFault-injection and clock-glitching vulnerability analysis on RISC-V micro-architectures.
  • Real-time schedulingMoving task scheduling out of the OS and into dedicated hardware for many-core embedded systems.
  • Sorting architecturesMulti-dimensional and 3-D hardware sorters for area- and energy-constrained edge devices.
  • NoC simulationPAT-Noxim, a cycle-accurate power, area, delay and thermal simulator for networks-on-chip.

Broad enough to choose the right tool, deep enough to be on call for it.

Every technology here has been used in production or in published research - nothing is listed from a tutorial. The chart below is my own record of where my attention actually went, year by year, since 2011.

38 technologies

  • Languages

    10

    The set I move between comfortably. C# and TypeScript are home; C++ came from research and never left, and Rust is the newest, used for systems tools and simulation.

  • Back end

    9

    Where most of my work happens: services, API contracts, integration flows and the paths that have to hold under load.

  • Front end

    8

    Angular is my default, but I have shipped production Vue and React too - the structure matters more than the framework.

  • Data stores

    7

    Chosen for the access pattern. SQL Server and PostgreSQL for relational truth, MongoDB for archives, Redis for everything that must be instant.

  • Identity & security

    4

    Two production identity servers built on OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.1, serving mobile, web and native clients from one session model.

Language focus over time

2011 - 2026

Relative focus per language, 2011 to 2026. C++ and C# from the research and desktop years; JavaScript rising with the web work; Java arriving with Spring Boot in 2022 and taking over through 2025 and 2026.

I'm not looking for a new role, but I'm happy to talk.

I like where I work and I'm not planning to move. If you want someone to look at a system or a technical decision, or you have an idea you'd like to talk through, send me a message. I read everything myself.

Usually replies within two working days.

What you can message me about

  • A second opinion on architecture or a technical decision
  • Backend, API or integration problems you're stuck on
  • How to design identity and access control
  • Performance problems you haven't been able to pin down
