Experience & skills

Backend and AI work at Caliber and Neurons, plus six years of building QA infrastructure from scratch.

Caliber · April 2026 – Present

AI & API Engineer

I build the infrastructure behind our Agentic RAG assistant: the retrieval pipeline, and the data ingestion that feeds it (web scraping, search API integrations).

Neurons · December 2023 – March 2026

Backend Engineer

I was the sole Product Engineer for the public API. I led the v2.0 rebuild, which helped scale the platform from 7 to 20+ enterprise clients and grow ARR from €250K to over €1M. I also built the API sandbox and documentation that Sales used to close new accounts.

Software Developer in Test

I set up the first automated testing strategy, frontend (TypeScript/Cypress) and backend (Python/Pytest). Also load testing, and contract testing for the APIs.

Quality Engineer

I was the first Quality Engineer. I built QA infrastructure from nothing: Cypress in CI, test environments on Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS, and contract testing for the internal APIs. I sat with product teams and mentored junior QEs.

Software Tester

I moved from support to become the first dedicated tester. Built the quality process and regression suites, then taught myself automation (Python and JavaScript) and put it in CI.
