What I'm looking for

I’m looking for engineering or technology leadership roles where I can shape product strategy, mentor teams, and build scalable cloud-native platforms that drive growth.

I am a pragmatic yet empathetic full-stack software engineer and technology leader with deep experience in product development, data modeling, customer success, and system design. I have led high-pressure initiatives, architected scalable platforms, and driven cost-effective technology choices that enabled 48% ARR growth year-over-year.

As VP of Technology I acted as a key stakeholder shaping technology strategy, led hiring and department scaling through successful VC fundraising, and built foundational cloud platforms and CI/CD practices. I mentor engineers, co-lead Agile processes, and deliver production systems across Python, Go, Node, frontend frameworks, and cloud-native infrastructure.
