About Me

As a Fractional CTO and Senior Software Architect, I don't just write code: I bridge software engineering with Digital Marketing to scale businesses securely. I develop robust web architectures, mobile solutions, and leverage Artificial Intelligence to completely automate complex business processes. Beyond pure technical execution, I apply rapid idea validation frameworks and engineer data-driven marketing systems to test and scale the business model.

What I focus on:

Full-Stack Architecture

Expert in modern web development using React, Next.js, Node.js, and .NET Core. I build scalable backends and highly interactive frontends.

Mobile Development

High-performance, cross-platform mobile app development (iOS & Android) focusing on flawless UX using React Native and Flutter.

AI & Automation

Development of custom AI solutions (Chatbots, LLM Agents) and complex automation workflows between CRMs and back-ends using Python scripts and n8n.

Growth Analytics & Data Engineering

Advanced GA4 and Server-Side GTM architectures. Deep data attribution to precisely scale high-ROI Google Ads (Search/PMAX) and Meta Ads campaigns.

Technical SEO & E-commerce

Custom Shopify Liquid development, technical SEO, and Core Web Vitals boosting to drastically improve conversion rates.

Product-Led Growth (PLG)

Applying the AAARRR funnel framework and high-tempo testing to validate engineering features and systematically scale traction channels.

The Journey

Evolving from fundamentals to senior architecture.

My passion started a long time ago. If you're curious, you can take a look at my first software project: a retro video game (Pong).
