Software and IoT systems that unblock your bottleneck.
I build tailored solutions for problems off-the-shelf software cannot solve — from the first sketch through to running production.

Companies with a concrete technical problem — looking for a partner who will see it through.
- 01 You have processes barely held together with spreadsheets and workarounds, and need to scale.
- 02 You are building a product spanning hardware, cloud and mobile and want someone who sees the whole picture.
- 03 You have existing systems that finally need to talk to each other — clean integrations, no duct tape.
- 04 You want to use AI meaningfully, without jumping on every hype.
02 How I work
Three steps. No surprises.
Understand
One or two intensive conversations to walk through your processes, data, and constraints. The output is a written summary — what will be built, what will not, and why.
Build
Iterative development in short cycles. You see something working every week. No months-long specs, no vapor demos.
Hand off
Go-live with documentation, monitoring, and a clear handoff point. You get a system you understand — not a black box with a maintenance contract attached.
03 Focus areas
Where I create the most impact.
Custom software
Web applications, dashboards, internal tools
IoT & embedded
Devices, pipelines, fleets — from sensor to dashboard
AI integration
Use LLMs where they actually pay off
AI engineering
Agents, RAG pipelines, AI-native applications
Cloud & infrastructure
Pragmatic setups on Hetzner, Coolify, Supabase
System integration
Clean wiring between ERPs, CRMs, third-party APIs
04 Track record
Current project — from sensor to dashboard.
FlowGlow Lighting
Smart lighting platform with IoT backend
End-to-end platform for connected lighting systems: ESP32 firmware with MQTT comms, a Node consumer as device backend, Supabase as the data layer with real-time broadcast, a Flutter app for end customers and an Angular admin dashboard for support and roll-outs.

- Google Home
- Alexa
Problem
FlowGlow wanted to turn a "dumb" smart lamp into a fully connected product — BLE provisioning, live control via app, reliable diagnostics when things go wrong, firmware OTA with rollback and integration into smart-home ecosystems. All on an architecture that handles hundreds of devices concurrently without every state change drowning the backend.
Outcome
Hundreds of devices monitored in real time, firmware updates roll out in staged waves and coredumps come in automatically — support has a symbolicated stack trace in hand before a customer ever calls. Smart-home integration with Google Home and Alexa as the next step went live in early 2026.
