What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role in a growth-oriented company to lead high-performing teams and drive innovation.

As a seasoned Software Engineering Manager with over 15 years of experience, I specialize in leading teams to deliver innovative software solutions. My expertise spans .NET, Front-End (Xamarin, Azure, Flutter), as well as backend (micro services, Azure) with a strong focus on continuous improvement and cross-cultural team management. I have successfully architected and developed multiple products, significantly enhancing user engagement and operational efficiency.

In my current role at OneBit Studio, I provide software consultancy services, leveraging my technical and managerial expertise. Previously, at Edenred UAE, I led a team of 11 developers, launching 5 new products that boosted user engagement by 30%. I also improved code review processes and CI/CD pipelines, reducing Time-To-Market by 20 days.

My technical proficiency includes migrating applications to newer frameworks like .NET 8 and Flutter, integrating analytics tools, and ensuring high system reliability. I am passionate about fostering a culture of continuous improvement and delivering impactful products that drive business growth.
