01What I bring

Not just screens. Product surfaces with ownership

My work sits between interface, architecture and production reality — from React migrations and shared UI systems to CI/CD, monitoring and release workflows.

01 / 04

Frontend platform engineering

React 15 → React 19 migrations, pnpm / Turborepo monorepos, shared UI packages, state management and design systems built to stay maintainable as the product grows.

Fintech & crypto product UX

Exchange, wallet, payments, affiliate and ops interfaces — surfaces where a small UX mistake quietly becomes real money risk.

Production ownership

CI/CD, Docker, Traefik, Nginx, monitoring and release workflows. The layer around the interface is part of the interface.

Where I've shipped

Seven-plus years across fintech, crypto, SaaS and engineering education — most often as the person who owned the frontend when no one else did.

03Selected work

Three systems I rebuilt under pressure

Short stories from production — where frontend, platform and security overlapped and someone had to own the whole path.

Legacy → Platform

Migrating a live crypto exchange from React 15 to React 19

A decade-old exchange, still trading, rebuilt underneath the users.

React 19TypeScriptTurborepopnpmWeb3Design system

As the sole frontend engineer on a live crypto/fintech product, I took an exchange running on React 15 and moved it to React 19 — then restructured the whole thing into a pnpm / Turborepo platform with shared UI and app-kit packages. The work spanned exchange, wallet, payments, affiliate and ops surfaces, with the API contracts, state and build owned end to end.

What it took
  • 01Incremental React 15 → 19 migration on a system that could not go dark
  • 02pnpm / Turborepo restructure with shared UI + app-kit packages
  • 03Owned architecture, API contracts, state management, build and deployment
Beyond the browser

Owning release infrastructure, not just the interface

The frontend doesn't end at the bundle — it ends in production.

DockerTraefikNginxTailscaleTeleportKeycloak

Alongside the product work I owned the release layer: Docker / Traefik multi-host deployments, release scripts, cache tooling, wallet-daemon infrastructure and frontend hosting across exchange, landing, wallet and WordPress surfaces — operated over SSH, Tailscale and Teleport. In a parallel fintech engagement I led infrastructure strategy as acting CTO: Linux, PostgreSQL, Nginx, Keycloak + Camunda IAM, SIEM / Wazuh and DR runbooks.

What it took
  • 01Docker / Traefik multi-host deployment and release scripting
  • 02Frontend hosting + cache tooling across four production surfaces
  • 03Secure operations over SSH / Tailscale / Teleport
Secure mobile signing

A native approval app for transaction signing

When a tap authorises money, the security model has to be exact.

KotlinJetpack ComposeKeystoreECDSAWorkManagerBiometrics

Built a Kotlin / Jetpack Compose application for secure transaction signing: keys generated and held in the Android Keystore, ECDSA signatures, biometric-gated UX, Room / DataStore persistence, an OkHttp network layer and WorkManager-driven approval flows. The interface is small — the threat model behind it isn't.

What it took
  • 01Hardware-backed key storage in the Android Keystore + ECDSA signing
  • 02Biometric-gated approval UX with Room / DataStore persistence
  • 03WorkManager approval flows over an OkHttp network layer

A stack connected into working production

Not a tool collection — these are grouped the way I actually use them: from interface down to infrastructure, security and mobile.

05Engineering temperament

Calm execution in complex systems

I work best where systems are complex, ownership is unclear and the product needs someone who can bring structure. I prefer direct communication, practical decisions and clear responsibility over process for its own sake.

I'm comfortable moving between product UX, frontend architecture, API contracts, deployment workflows and incident-level thinking — and I'd rather connect tools into a working production system than collect them. The aesthetic is the same as the work: minimal, dark, precise, structured.

I'm most useful when the system is already moving, already complex, and needs someone to bring structure without slowing delivery.

P-01

Structure over chaos

I'm most useful where the system is already moving, already complex, and needs someone to bring order without slowing delivery.

P-02

Own the full path

From component to API contract to deployment and incident. I care about the whole path from code to user, not just the screen.

P-03

Ship, then stabilise

Build interfaces that survive real users, real releases and real incidents — then keep hardening them in place.

P-04

Durable over clever

I prefer systems that are understandable, maintainable and built for real use over decorative complexity.

P-05

Direct communication

Practical decisions, clear ownership, honest status. Calm execution in complex systems beats noise.
