Employment history

  1. Backend Developer

    2026-04 – Present

    Telpass

    I own the backend behind a real-time voice platform, and the internal panel the operations team runs it from.

    • Replaced the real-time voice provider on a system already serving users, committing to the client team's Flutter repository on their branch rather than handing over a changelog.
    • Published a versioned REST and WebSocket contract, with integration guides written for the four engineers who build against it.
    • Built the operator panel replacing the PHP one still in production. NestJS, Next.js 15 and MikroORM, full stack, 47 decision records.
    • 53 subsystem documents and 102 decision records, and four test suites running against real MySQL and Redis rather than mocks.
