What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and scale reliable, user-focused systems as a senior engineer/technical lead—optimizing performance, designing maintainable APIs, mentoring teams, and contributing to AI-assisted developer workflows through thoughtful engineering and documentation.

I’m a software engineer and educator with more than six years of experience building high-quality, user-focused software in Python, JavaScript, and more recently C#. I specialize in optimizing performance, improving user workflows, and leading teams to deliver impactful solutions.

At Griffin Global Technologies, I’ve led a team of 4 engineers building and maintaining an integration API for a real estate investment and development group in the United States. I architected a microservice-based solution optimized for modularity, maintainability, and service interoperability, and I design and implement RESTful APIs following best practices.

Earlier, at Diaspocare Ltd, I scaled the backend from MVP to support 1,000+ users and thousands of cross-continental transactions monthly, including secure multi-country payment workflows. I also contributed to third-party API integrations for insurers, collaborated on mobile-first payment experiences, and strengthened reliability through testing, debugging, code review, and documentation. I’m also passionate about sharing knowledge through open-source work (including Hanko) and technical writing on Medium, and I currently help with Python development and documentation while working on a Django installable app for passwordless authentication.
