What I'm looking for

I am seeking leadership roles where I can drive technical strategy, mentor engineers, work in remote-first cultures, and align team growth with business impact.

I am a Senior Software Engineering Manager with 13+ years building scalable systems and high-performing teams, combining technical depth in .NET, Angular and microservices with a people-first leadership approach backed by an MBA in Leadership and People Development.

I have led engineering teams at Questrade and co‑founded a VC-backed startup in Chile, securing equity-free funding and mentoring early-stage founders while delivering production-grade web applications and CRM features.

I prioritize aligning individual career aspirations with business outcomes, defining technical strategy, improving operational processes, and fostering distributed, remote-first teams that deliver quality software and sustainable growth.
