Engineering leadership. Products of my own
My professional context is Group CTO at Synatix. Alongside that work, I’m building APPIK independently, taking responsibility for its products from the first idea through engineering and operations.
Independent products

Inside APPIK TABLE →End-to-end ownership
I build APPIK independently—from vision and product decisions to architecture, agent-assisted implementation and operations.
Agentic engineering has become an increasingly important part of that work. I use agents to analyze systems, develop plans, prototype and implement. Product judgment, validation and responsibility remain with me.
