About
Staff Software Engineer (11+ yrs) who owns systems end to end — and I'm open to relocating (Netherlands / US / UK,Japan). Distributed systems, event-driven microservices, Node.js + TypeScript. Open to highly skilled migrant sponsorship. The best part of my job isn't the code — it's the moment a messy, half-broken system finally becomes something a team can trust and build on. That's the work I've chased for 11+ years. I've grown from "make the feature work" to owning the whole surface — the architecture, the delivery, the incident, and the engineers around me. What I care about: leaving systems simpler than I found them, and engineers more capable than before I worked with them. Earlier I led an 8-person team and cut query latency 30% with a Redis layer — systems and people, the two threads through everything I do. I've also built production GenAI at ServiceNow (LLM orchestration for an app-generation tool) — a tool I reach for when it fits, not my whole identity. If you're building something where a systems-minded engineer who also lifts a team would help, I'd genuinely like to connect.
