What I'm looking for

I seek roles leading technical teams and digital transformation, focused on API integrations, operational reliability, mentorship, and measurable product impact in collaborative, growth-oriented organizations.

Driving digital innovation and operational excellence across fintech, banking, and education sectors. As a technical leader, I specialize in architecting robust API ecosystems and leading cross-functional teams to deliver scalable, secure, and user-centric products.

My expertise lies in translating business vision into market-ready solutions, with a proven track record of:

End-to-End Product Leadership: Managing the entire project and product lifecycle, from initial concept and stakeholder alignment to successful delivery and iteration of payment platforms and digital services.
Engineering Scalable Platforms: Designing and implementing core payment integrations and financial system architectures that ensure high availability, security, and a seamless user experience.
Enhancing Service Delivery: Building operational resilience and superior customer experiences through strategic implementation of real-time monitoring and proactive system management, directly resulting in measurable uptime and engagement improvements.
Leading High-Performing Teams: Mentoring and growing engineering and product teams to foster a culture of collaboration, innovation, and ownership.

I am passionate about leveraging technology—from cloud infrastructure and microservices to strategic API design—to solve complex business challenges and deliver tangible value.
