Product-minded engineering leader driving roadmap and feature delivery.
What I'm looking for
I’m a product-minded engineering leader who blends strategy, engineering, and product management to deliver customer-focused SaaS features at scale.
At Indigo Tech I lead engineering teams, shape roadmaps, define requirements, and ship core product features using React and TypeScript while partnering closely with Product, Design, QA, and Operations.
My background includes consulting and process optimization at Accenture and delivery roles at Plex and Mercy Corps, which gave me strong user empathy, structured problem solving, and cross-functional leadership skills.
I’m passionate about turning discovery into scalable features, improving delivery processes (including Agile Scrum adoption), and building intuitive customer experiences that drive measurable outcomes.
