01 / THE APPROACH

Good architecture earns its keep
in the real world.

I start with what someone needs to do: find their way, choose the right item, or act on reliable information. I work with customers and engineers to turn those needs into usable experiences, and stay involved through implementation and everyday operation. That means balancing the user journey with reliability, compatibility and the cost of keeping a service running.

02 / SELECTED WORK

Built for the edge cases.

Experiences shaped around real user needs,
from the first idea to everyday use.

01 — INDOOR MAPPING & POSITIONING

Making complex places navigable.

Millionsof backend queries served

The experience: Help people find their way through complex venues, see their position in real time, and receive useful guidance as their surroundings change.
From the ground up: Built the backend APIs for an indoor maps SDK, bringing vector map tiles, indoor POI search and autocomplete into one solution. Implemented profile-based and multi-building routing, distance matrices and traveling-salesman waypoint optimisation, with turn-by-turn roadbooks.
Connected to the venue: Brought real-time indoor positioning together with BLE beacons and IoT device integration to support indoor context-aware push notifications. Connected venue data, positioning and navigation, then ported the new solution into the existing application stack.

02 — CONVERSATIONAL EXPERIENCE SDK

Conversation bubbles with an embedded map and route.

AI with a connection to reality.

The experience: Bring location-aware conversations into an existing application, with maps, store cards and route summaries appearing where they help someone take the next step.
Reusable by design: Created a modular chat SDK architecture separating the embeddable web component, conversation and transport core, and reusable UI widgets. Designed a WebSocket and Lambda backend with Bedrock orchestration and MCP tool execution, streaming text and tool events back to the interface.
Ready for different applications: Defined customer-specific configuration and model access, cross-account model invocation, usage metrics and token budgets. Included prompt caching and history trimming so the experience could be adapted without overlooking operating cost.

03 — LOCATION TOOLS FOR AI

Location APIs for AI agents.

The experience: Let an AI assistant answer location questions using live services: discover a nearby place, compare routes, estimate tolls or show the result on a map.
A consistent service interface: Created an MCP server exposing geocoding, reverse geocoding, nearby POI discovery, place details, store lookup and static-map generation. Added route, toll and distance-matrix tools accepting coordinates or automatically resolving place names.
Designed for adoption: Used typed inputs, response models and stateless streamable HTTP to connect existing APIs to MCP-compatible applications. Refined schemas and payloads to reduce token usage and kept credentials scoped to each request.

04 — PROXIMITY & GEOFENCING SDK

A tracked route enters a circular geofence on a street map.

Location intelligence.
Beyond the blue dot.

20,000+geofences monitored

The experience: Connect an application to what is happening around its user, using background tracking, proximity events and beacon monitoring to trigger relevant experiences.
Across application stacks: Owned delivery across the geofencing SDK ecosystem. Built the Flutter plugin end to end, owned the Android integration for React Native, and created an Expo integration for forwarding geofence events.
Dependable in daily use: Primary ownership of the enterprise Android SDK and its open-source core covered passive tracking, location-quality filtering, event and reboot recovery, consumer compatibility and automated releases. Extended shared capabilities through plugin APIs, permission flows and configurable notifications.

05 — LOCATION-DATA PLATFORM

Location records surrounding a shared data store and validation check.

Data that keeps moving.

100,000+POIs validated and accurately ingested every day

The experience: Keep the locations people search for accurate and usable across countries, languages and different business services.
A shared foundation: Designed and owned a multi-business location-data pipeline and configuration service. Combined incremental imports, country-specific filters and multilingual configuration with Redis-backed caching.
Quality at the point of entry: Validated data before ingestion and isolated failures per business line. Reworked processing around a persistent consumer with API timeouts and crash recovery, eliminating stuck jobs and verifying recovery paths with end-to-end smoke tests.

06 — PHOTO-PRINTING MOBILE APP

Overlapping photographic prints and a camera.

Everyday moments.
Made tangible.

The experience: Help people turn personal photos into physical prints through a customer-facing mobile application.
From requirements to the app: Delivered the mobile app with hands-on development and technical leadership. Worked with business stakeholders and the application team to translate requirements into a usable mobile experience and coordinate delivery.

07 — EDUCATION E-COMMERCE

Books, a pencil and a shopping bag with a check mark.

From learning needs
to everyday supplies.

The experience: Make educational supplies available through a customer-facing e-commerce application, connecting a shopper’s learning needs with a purchase journey.
Delivery across disciplines: Led the application project, translating customer requirements into delivery plans, functional and technical specifications, and engineering work. Guided application design and code reviews while coordinating distributed engineers, vendors and stakeholders.

03 / THE PERSON & THE PATH

Architecture in mind.
Engineer at heart.

Over more than two decades, I’ve worked from the first question about what people need through to the details of how an experience behaves. My work spans consumer mobile applications, e-commerce, indoor navigation, SDK ecosystems and cloud services, combining hands-on engineering with design decisions and team leadership.

I work with stakeholders and partners across Europe, the US and APAC, including transport and aviation integrations. I stay close to discovery, application flows, delivery plans and implementation, and use operational feedback to guide decisions about reliability, security and cloud efficiency.

Off the clock? Still tinkering. Lately, an Android Auto app for my own car. Some habits follow you everywhere.
