What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages team collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

As an Engineering Manager with over 15 years of experience, I have a proven track record of delivering exceptional engineering solutions. My expertise lies in leading teams, guiding architectural decisions, and implementing modern technologies. I am passionate about continuous improvement, data security, and emerging technologies, which drive my commitment to excellence in every project.

In my current role at Snap Finance, I lead and mentor software engineering teams, managing complex migrations and ensuring software quality through rigorous code reviews. My collaborative approach fosters cross-cultural communication and encourages team learning and development. I take pride in my ability to manage budgets and resources effectively while driving innovation and efficiency within my teams.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led various projects, from migrating B2B portals to Salesforce Experience Cloud to developing cross-functional training programs for engineers. My technical skills span a wide range of technologies, including JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and Node.js, enabling me to contribute significantly to both front-end and back-end development efforts.
