👋 Hello, I'm Toli.

15+ years evolving distributed systems across startup, scale-up, and enterprise environments.

I partner with product and engineering leaders to shape technical strategy that delivers measurable business outcomes. My background spans event-driven and serverless architectures, observability-first design, and platform thinking, bringing a Team Topologies mindset to cross-team leadership and organisational clarity.
