Currently in an AI Pod, shipping AI solutions to production

01About
Software engineer on the core web development team of one of the world's largest airlines. I build libraries, internal tooling and cross-cutting solutions used by other teams, focused on architecture, performance and real adoption.
Since mid-2026 my team has been working as an AI Pod, researching and implementing AI solutions for concrete client needs. I have worked across very different stacks, from embedded systems and telemetry to web architecture at scale, which lets me adapt quickly to any new problem.
I give internal talks on Web Performance and GDPR to development teams, and I write the technical documentation they use to raise the quality of what they ship.
