Designing and delivering EMAsphere's AI platform layer — solo, directing AI coding agents (Claude Code). First complete mission cycle delivered as a coordinated platform: Agent Service, MCP server, OIDC/OAuth2 provider + JWT authentication layer, Front Reference Implementation, and a tiered instruction framework for AI-assisted engineering.

• Delivered a zero-to-production build-out across five tracks: Agent Service runtime, MCP capabilities, OIDC/JWT hardening, Front RI, and agent instruction framework.
• Built a production-oriented MCP stack on standard protocols so AI assistants can connect quickly, while reusing the same API layer and per-user security model as the product.
• Exposed MCP-developed tools through the Agent Service to power integrated in-app assistant conversations with tighter UI/business context alignment.
• Delivered a Front Reference Implementation that accelerated backend stabilization and gave frontend teams a working, modern reference they could adapt across frameworks.
• Used a dual-agent workflow where the tester agent acted as the business/end-user and the implementor agent supported the developer/technical role.

As my primary ongoing passion project and R&D lab for agentic engineering, I am independently architecting and engineering a complete, end-to-end ecosystem for audio/MIDI software.

• High-Performance Rust Backend (Cutoff): Architected and built a large-scale Rust monorepo for real-time audio/MIDI processing, including a VST3 plugin host, a modular event-processing engine, and cross-platform I/O libraries.
• Specialized Audio UI Framework: Engineered a performance-first React/TypeScript component library using modern CSS and SVG to ensure fluid rendering under heavy CPU load from audio processing.
• Full-Stack E-commerce Platform: Built the complete commercial web platform (marketing, blog, e-commerce) using Next.js, Vercel, Stripe, and a serverless Postgres DB.

My personal consulting company (founded in 2018) through which I conduct all freelance, consulting, and entrepreneurial activities, including my work as a Fractional CTO / Architect and the Tylium projects.

As CTO, I led the technical strategy during the company's transition from a monolithic startup to a collaborative, multi-team scale-up.

• Led the re-evaluation and modernization of development, L2 support, and delivery processes.
• Initiated and led aggressive strategies to address significant technical debt across all tiers.
• Oversaw major new feature releases and launched the company's first fully digital, zero-touch customer onboarding process.
• Coached and mentored the next generation of the company's technical leaders.

As a foundational architect and hands-on developer, I built the core of the FinTech SaaS platform.

• Personally designed and coded complex business modules from scratch, including Google Sheets-like financial forecasting editors and a custom KPI engine.
• Architected the platform's critical multi-tenant security and tenant management model for global scalability, fine-grained access control, and white-labeling.
• Led the complete architectural overhaul of the main reporting module, dramatically increasing performance.
• Led the "Red" team, fostering an Agile spirit and helping grow the company's development talent.

As a consultant, I led architecture on two key client projects:

• FinTech: Architected the initial backend for the "DigiTeal" payment modernization product using Spring Boot, Spring Security, and JPA, integrated with an AngularJS front-end.
• GovTech (SOA): Served as an SOA Expert for the Federal Public Service of Finance, enhancing their ESB infrastructure and managing web services security (SOAP, WS-Security), auditing, and monitoring.

I managed the architecture team (3 Architects, 2 Engineers) for "Soliam," a massive (3M+ LOC) asset and wealth management application.

• Faced with 10+ years of technical debt, I created and defended a multi-year architectural roadmap to modernize the monolith to a modern, middle-tier, object-oriented architecture with a path to an HTML5 UI.
• Led a cross-department Scrum team to build a new, generic data injection/extraction framework.
• Acted as a key technical expert in the pre-sales process, helping to secure a major contract with Natixis.

As a member of the central Technology R&D department, I built and supported the in-house Java/EE frameworks used by all product teams.

• Co-developed the in-house BSB-JF (Java/EE) and BSB-SF (Service-Oriented) frameworks, including maintaining an Hibernate-like ORM framework.
• Led R&D teams to build key reusable components (Job Execution Engine, Document Management interface).
• Authored a 100-page "Comparative Study of Enterprise Service Buses," leading to the company adopting FUSE ESB.
• Provided internal training on frameworks and led technical interviews.

I joined this startup to establish its Software Development Department from scratch.

• Led the pre-study, wrote the bid, and won the project for a new enterprise software for Home Care Services.
• Single-handedly designed and built the entire application (50+ KLoC) using early EJB3 with JPA/Hibernate and Eclipse RCP.

My first professional role. I was responsible for the end-to-end development of the cardiology department's modules for the in-house medical record software, re-engineering a system from an original Filemaker record.
