About

Senior Python/R DataOps/Backend Engineer | Remote Dev & Project Management | 20+ Years TDD, Clean Code & Agile

I help companies build scalable, maintainable data pipelines and other backend solutions—remotely, efficiently, and with a focus on clean code and software quality.

With 20+ years of experience as a remote IT professional, I specialize in DataOps, Python, R, Linux, and cloud-native architectures. My background includes project management, data science, and hands-on development, giving me a unique ability to bridge technical and business needs.

I’ve worked with startups and established companies to:

  • Optimize data workflows (e.g., with Kafka, Vector, and ClickHouse)
  • Implement robust monitoring and logging (Promtail, Loki, Grafana)
  • Design fault-tolerant systems (e.g., MQTT and bare-metal Kafka)
  • Mentor teams on best practices for remote collaboration and agile development

I’m passionate about solving complex problems with simple, elegant solutions and helping teams deliver high-quality software. Let’s connect if you’re looking for a reliable, experienced engineer to elevate your projects.

Fluent in English, Spanish and Norwegian. Work-level proficiency in Danish, French, German and Swedish.

Open to new remote opportunities—reach out to discuss how I can help your team.
