What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and allows me to lead impactful projects while promoting team growth and collaboration.

I am an Engineering Manager with over 12 years of experience in building large-scale FinTech and cloud services. My expertise lies in defining technical vision and architecting scalable platforms that drive business growth. I have successfully led cross-functional teams, ensuring that we not only meet but exceed our project goals.

At Moniepoint Inc., I architected a Payments Orchestration platform that significantly improved transaction success rates and reduced operational response times. My previous role at Morgan Stanley involved programming a speech-to-text solution that enhanced user experience for over 100,000 users. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my skills in cloud technologies and team leadership to deliver impactful results.
