What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles where I can combine DeFi strategy and engineering to build automated, data-driven financial systems and scale high-performing teams.

I am an engineering and technology leader with more than 15 years of experience building and scaling B2C and B2B platforms across e-commerce, fintech, and digital product delivery. I combine software engineering, automation, and financial strategy to deliver robust, data-driven systems.

In my current role as DeFi Strategy and Capital Manager I design and execute algorithmic liquidity and yield strategies across blockchain ecosystems, build performance frameworks, and automate risk-adjusted capital optimization. Previously I led engineering organizations, defined architecture and CI/CD standards, and drove agile transformations that improved delivery speed and software quality.

I focus on measurable outcomes—improving collateral efficiency, increasing transaction reliability, and reducing manual work through automation—while mentoring teams and establishing metrics-based engineering cultures to sustain long-term technical excellence.
