I am a software architect and engineer with strong experience in distributed platforms and mission-critical systems.
I focus on building solutions that balance security, observability, and scalability, both in the cloud and on-premises.
- Leading initiatives in digital identity (OAuth2, OIDC, Keycloak), messaging, and complex system integrations.
- Driving end-to-end observability: distributed tracing, metrics, structured logging, and corporate logging standards.
- Actively involved in software architecture discussions (hexagonal, microservices, CI/CD pipelines) and engineering best practices.
- Passionate about solving hard problems and sharing knowledge through documentation, guides, and team talks.
Currently working at Philips, contributing to the modernization of healthcare platforms with a focus on performance, security, and observability.
