What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role where I can scale engineering teams, improve reliability and cost-efficiency, mentor talent, and deliver measurable business impact.

I am a Software Engineering Manager with over a decade of experience across e-commerce, fintech, bike sharing, and delivery, focused on delivering high-value products, improving code quality, and mentoring engineering teams. I’ve led initiatives that reduced payment fraud by ~70%, cut cloud costs significantly, and improved deploy and CI/CD practices across organizations.

I specialize in architecting reliable systems, implementing Agile and DevOps practices, and aligning engineering strategy with business goals. I have led teams of up to 19 engineers, managed cross-functional programs, and delivered measurable savings and scalability improvements while mentoring engineers and managers.
