What I'm looking for

Looking to join an organization to unlock key features and help guide technical teams into implementing lean, secure, and scalable solutions.

I am a seasoned technical leader with a proven track record of driving key features and guiding technical teams to implement lean, secure, and scalable solutions. With over 12 years of experience, I have developed a unique blend of technical expertise and leadership skills, enabling me to mentor engineers, optimize processes, and streamline client integration.

Throughout my career, I have worked with various technologies, including Node.js/Typescript, Golang, Python, and Java, and have expertise in Postgres SQL, Mongo, MySQL, AWS, Google Cloud, Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform, and Git. My experience in Agile/Scrum and Kanban has allowed me to effectively manage sprint planning and align team efforts.

I am passionate about staying up-to-date with the latest technologies and trends, and I am committed to fostering autonomy and growth in the teams I work with. My strong technical background, combined with my leadership skills, makes me an ideal candidate for a technical leadership role.
