Software Engineer

With a passion for technology that started at a very young age, taking my first steps into coding at the age of 12. From having my own software development company, specializing in websites, native apps, and desktop software, to launching a home automation startup, my trajectory has been taken me through several areas of software development. Currently serving as the Chief Technology Officer of a proptech company in London. In this role, I oversee the development of a native app, multiple React front-ends, and a robust Kubernetes architecture. I also have a personal passion for web3, in my opinion the majority of projects out there are just using the hype around crypto to gather the attention of people without having a real reason to use web3.

Experience

Founder
Startup
2019 - 2020
Founded and led a startup focused on developing an advanced home automation system utilising mmWave radars to dynamically map real-time occupancy within residential or commercial spaces with the ability to learn and predict inhabitant actions, enabling seamless automation interactions with the house's smart systems. Successfully deployed a proof of concept in a demonstration house, showcasing the system's capabilities and garnering substantial interest from potential buyers. Unfortunately, encountered challenges in securing investment due to the high hardware costs associated with the technology. Despite this setback, the experience provided valuable insights into product development, market dynamics, and the importance of strategic financial planning in the startup landscape.

During my time at KappaTech, I worked in several projects from websites to desktop applications, as well as a react native application. The majority of projects were developed using nodejs + electron or nodejs + reactjs, with a few exceptions. There was a project built using javafx, and another one using php + bootstrap. The websites that had no functionality were built using only html + css + js.
