Aqssas — Software Development & Cloud Solutions

Who you work with

Fourteen years of shipping systems that stay up.

Aqssas is led hands-on, not handed off. Every engagement is architected, built, and operated by the same engineer who scopes it.

Engineering Team Lead and Full-Stack Developer with 14+ years delivering production software and leading engineering work across financial analytics, market-data, trading, and cloud platforms.

The day-to-day combines hands-on architecture with delivery ownership: converting business requirements into technical roadmaps, milestones, and release priorities — then building the system and keeping it running in production.

Core stack is JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, Next.js, Angular, .NET, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Linux, and Google Cloud — chosen for the problem, not the trend, so your team can understand and extend what gets built.

Alongside the code: hiring and mentoring engineers, managing scope, schedule, budget, risk, and dependencies across concurrent initiatives, and maintaining a clear weekly cadence with stakeholders on status, risks, and next actions.
