Building systems and finding gaps.
I design and build systems as a whole: concept and architecture, backend and database, web interface, Android and iOS apps, integration of devices such as NFC readers and company phones, through to servers, backups and operations. One example is a multilingual employee platform with offline-capable time tracking, reporting and team chat that I designed, built and run. I also ship my own apps on the App Store. In parallel, I examine messengers and other widely used software for vulnerabilities and report them through national CERTs.
Understanding first, implementation AI-assisted.
My focus is on understanding: grasping the concept, defining the architecture and keeping the overview. The implementation, from code to writing to research, I do consistently AI-assisted, which makes me considerably faster at explaining, answering and building. Every result I verify, understand and take responsibility for myself.
