What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to lead innovative projects and mentor teams in a collaborative environment.

As a software leader with over 15 years of coding experience and more than 8 years in professional development, I currently serve as the Vice President of Software Solutions at Smooth Fusion. In this role, I lead strategy, architecture, and cross-functional execution, ensuring that our projects align with the company's vision and goals. My expertise in full-stack development, microservices, and mentoring teams has allowed me to build scalable systems that meet the needs of our clients.

Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to fostering a culture of growth and collaboration within engineering teams. I have successfully integrated platforms like Learnosity for assessment workflows and have a strong command of technologies such as .NET, JavaScript, Docker, and various third-party integrations. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my certifications, including Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer and Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate, which validate my skills and knowledge in the field.
