Thomas M.

Hello! I'm Thomas, a Software & Systems Engineer specializing in backend development, enterprise software and distributed systems. I help businesses build scalable applications, modernize existing systems and solve complex technical challenges. Whether it's designing software architecture, developing new features, integrating third-party services or optimizing performance, my goal is always the same: deliver software that remains reliable, maintainable and easy to evolve. Throughout my career I've designed and developed: Enterprise Information Management platforms. Identity & Access Management solutions (LDAP, Active Directory, OAuth2, OpenID Connect and SAML2). Multi-tenant and white-label SaaS applications serving 100+ organizations. Asynchronous processing pipelines handling 600+ concurrent operations while respecting third-party rate limits. Traffic engineering and DDoS mitigation systems capable of handling up to 9 Gbps of traffic. Layer 7 filtering engines processing 10,000+ HTTP requests per second. I enjoy understanding business requirements just as much as solving technical problems. Before writing code, I like to understand why something needs to be built, identify the simplest solution and design software that remains maintainable as it grows. I believe good engineering isn't about using the newest technology—it's about making the right technical decisions, reducing unnecessary complexity and building systems that are easier to understand tomorrow than they are today.
