What I'm looking for

I seek senior technical leadership roles where I can drive architecture strategy, mentor engineering teams, deliver scalable web platforms, and align technology with business goals.

I am an experienced software engineering leader with over 9 years of hands-on experience designing, developing, and managing large-scale web platforms. I focus on aligning technology with business goals while driving innovation, performance optimization, and secure software delivery.

As a Chief Technology Officer and former technical project manager and team lead, I have overseen architecture design, code quality, and system scalability across PHP-based ecosystems using modern frameworks and best practices. I mentor and manage development teams, promote CI/CD, and implement microservices and API-driven architectures.

I bring deep expertise in backend and frontend development, databases, messaging systems, and Linux server management, and I am passionate about delivering high-quality, maintainable systems that scale with business needs.
