I lead distributed engineering teams delivering frontend platforms and multi-device streaming products.
What I'm looking for
At DNA.inc, I lead digital product teams building cross-device experiences for media, streaming, sports, and automotive clients. I align delivery goals, engineering capacity, client expectations, and team health while supporting hiring, staffing, and practical AI-assisted workflows.
Previously, I led engineering at de Bijenkorf, Otrium, and 24i, where I increased release speed by 25% and delivered multi-platform streaming applications across web, mobile, Smart TVs, consoles, and connected devices. My background spans React, TypeScript, React Native, JavaScript, frontend platform architecture, technical direction, and people leadership.
