Building the technical foundation for local energy communities in Switzerland — a vZEV and LEG-compliant marketplace where solar producers sell directly to their neighbors. No hardware. No intermediaries. Lower bills, 100% local renewable energy. The mission: make community energy distribution as simple as a bank transfer.

Platform engineering at one of Europe’s leading HR tech companies during a critical growth phase. Defined technical direction for core platform services, shaped engineering standards, and operated as a cross-team technical authority at scale.

Four years shaping the technical core of Europe’s most-funded neobank. As Principal Engineer: delivered the architectural vision for payments (bank and peer-to-peer transfers) and customer acquisition; led the overhaul of financial crime prevention — replaced a static rule engine spread across microservices with a real-time Apache Flink streaming system in under six months. Before that, as Tech Lead: architected the fee charging platform that became standard infrastructure embedded in N26’s ledger APIs across Europe.

Delivered production banking platforms for financial institutions across Europe — core banking systems, compliance infrastructure, digital banking portals. Worked directly with client engineering leadership on architecture, led cross-functional teams, and contributed to GFT’s in-house innovation track. Preceded by three years at IBM’s innovation lab building internal security tooling.
