Full Stack Developer since 2004 | Creator of Co-Gherkin 🧪 | BDD Advocate | AI Enthusiast

My development approach is rooted in Stoic Engineering, a methodology I apply to create software that is sustainably excellent.

This philosophy combines the Stoic focus on controllables (the code we write) with the Kaizen principle of continuous improvement: making the software 1% better every day through practical, real-world application changes.

I strive to build solutions that are:

• Kaizen-Ready: Designed for small, incremental, daily improvements.
• Pragmatic: Focusing engineering effort only on what is essential and controllable (the Stoic Dichotomy of Control).
• High-Quality: Driven by Behavior-Driven Development (BDD).

I am an experienced Full Stack Developer specializing in the architecture and deployment of robust solutions.

I am deeply passionate about Artificial Intelligence and have built my own army of agents, contextually sharpened and prepared for battle like Spartans.

My work emphasizes product quality and Behavior-Driven Development (BDD), using expected behavior as the guiding principle for construction.

I aim to build scalable, secure, and easily maintainable solutions that deliver true business value.

These are the technologies I routinely work with:

Here are examples showcasing my focus on quality and architectural excellence:

• 🏛️ Project Elevation: My personal lab where Stoic Engineering systems and advanced architectural concepts are developed. This serves as the cornerstone for my principles. [View Site]
• 🧪 Co-Gherkin: A specialized tool designed to facilitate Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) by enhancing the creation and collaborative management of Gherkin scenarios (Feature files) across development teams.
