    I'm a specialist if you need to build an AI assisted cockpit, either in a literal physical sense or giving that feeling to a web/mobile interface. My strength is finding how to give users a truly intuitive feeling of control when they use a product, like their own capabilities are extended.

    As an engineer I'm frontend UX design leaning, though I do love making an API and not afraid of migrating a database.

    Broad experience across B2C + B2B, SaaS, manufacturing (Volkswagen) and streaming (events). Shipped for 250K+ viewers, 10K+ production vehicles and one self driving car on public roads.

    Got technical complexity? I'm on it. Shipping on the stack you got today.

    Got organisational complexity? I'm on it. Experience shipping from Europe into China market via Joint Ventures.

    And now the glorious list of technical trenches in which footguns have blossomed into experience:

      Frontend - Typescript - React - Tailwind
    
      Backend - Go - some Rust - good ol Typescript
    
      Infra - CloudFlare - AWS - Terraform
    
      Dare I say Figma? Prefer to design in code myself but it's good for collabs and sign off.
    
      Was working with AI since before the LLM era, using ML for user detection in automotive interiors.
