Hi, I'm Jerome

Software Engineer

About Me

20+ years of building cool stuff, breaking things, and fixing them again. I like making secure, fast systems that actually work.

I build secure, scalable systems that power modern businesses. With expertise spanning from low-level infrastructure to user-facing applications, I bring a unique perspective to solving complex technical challenges.

Whether modernizing legacy platforms, architecting cloud-native solutions, or leading technical teams, I focus on delivering pragmatic solutions that actually ship. I believe the best code is the code that provides real value to real users, today.
