Email: hn@illworkforfood.com

Ex-Google & ex-Booking.com engineer with 15+ years building scalable web services, data pipelines, and internet infrastructure.

Highlights: – Built and maintained high-performance data processing pipelines handling *illions of datapoints. – Optimized latency & throughput in large-scale web services. – Engineered advanced online map services and resilient DNS/TLS systems. – Known for reducing complexity, improving reliability, and delivering measurable impact in production environments.

Looking for a senior/principal engineering role where I can own impactful systems, ideally in backend/data infrastructure, internet infrastructure or applied internet services. Prefer smaller to mid-sized companies (not mega-corps) with competitive Swiss-level or US-remote compensation.

Comfortable with async/global collaboration, strong communicator across engineering and product, and motivated by solving hard problems with real users in mind.
