Software Engineer · Technology Entrepreneur · Cyber Security Specialist

I am a software engineer and technology entrepreneur with a software development journey that started in 1998. I build real-world technology products and infrastructure across EV charging, OCPP, SaaS, artificial intelligence, IoT, cybersecurity, backend systems and payment technologies.

About

A software journey that started in 1998.

More than a traditional developer portfolio. This is the story behind the technology.

Software has been part of my life for decades.

I started actively developing software with ASP in 1998. Over the years, my work expanded into Flash, ActionScript, PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX, databases, Linux servers, Windows servers, networking and system administration.


Instead of staying focused on a single technology, I gradually moved toward building complete systems — from the application layer to infrastructure, security and operations.

Today I build technology products.

My current work goes beyond writing code. I focus on building technology that operates in the real world.


My current areas include electric vehicle charging, OCPP infrastructure, mobile applications, payment systems, SaaS, artificial intelligence, IoT and automation.
