Is your product scaling, but your engineering velocity slowing down?
I specialize in the "Haunted Forest" phase of scale-ups: when legacy code, slow CI/CD pipelines, and architectural debt threaten to stop business growth.
I am a Fractional Staff Engineer & Technical Director with 15+ years of experience in high-scale marketplaces (Kleinanzeigen, LeBonCoin, Adevinta). I don't just write code; I design the systems and culture that allow your team to ship faster.
🚀 How I help:
1. Legacy Modernization (The "Safe" Rewrite)
I guide teams through high-risk migrations without stopping the business.
Moving from Monoliths (Java/PHP) to Modern Stack (Next.js, Node.js).
Migrating from Legacy React/SPA to Performance-first Architectures (Astro, Server Components).
2. Platform Engineering & Cost Reduction
I audit and rebuild infrastructure to slash waste.
Case Study: Reduced build times from 50m → 9m for a major platform.
Optimizing CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) to save €20k+/year in infrastructure costs.
3. Technical Direction (Fractional)
For companies that need Staff-level leadership but aren't ready for a full-time hire.
Architecture Review & Decision Records (ADRs).
Mentoring Senior Engineers to Staff level.
Unlocking high-performance through Neuro-inclusive leadership.
🛠 The Stack:
Core: TypeScript, Node.js, React, Next.js, Astro.
Platform: Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, Cloudflare.
Performance: Core Web Vitals, Edge Computing.
Why Fractional?
You get strategic clarity and high-leverage implementation for a flat weekly retainer, often delivering more value in 2 days than a mid-level developer delivers in 5.
Based in Barcelona. Available for Remote Leadership across Europe.
