About me
Engineering with a product mindset
I’ve been building software for the web for more than 20 years, mostly e-commerce platforms and marketplaces with PHP and Symfony. I like to understand the business before writing the first line of code.
I was a product-oriented Engineering Manager at Drinks&Co, managing five development teams and setting priorities with the technical architect, product and the CTO. Before that, I spent over a decade leading Uvinum’s marketplace integrations team.
Today I’m a Principal Software Engineer at SonoSuite and, on the side, I build Vialyst, my interactive travel guide, along with home-automation projects on Home Assistant.
