Software Engineering Manager | Scalable Systems | Cloud | Agile| Team Growth & Velocity Leadership
What I'm looking for
I’m a Software Engineering Manager with over 13 years of progressive experience in engineering — evolving from hands-on developer to architect to people-first technical leader.
Over the past 5+ years, I’ve led high-performing cross-functional teams to build and scale modern SaaS platforms across industries like cloud computing, AI/ML, and enterprise productivity. My leadership style is grounded in ownership, mentorship, and enabling engineers to do the best work of their careers. I’ve consistently delivered outcomes such as a 48% increase in delivery velocity, 99.9% uptime during platform scaling, and 30% cost savings through cloud optimization.
I’ve architected scalable systems, driven frontend modernization (Angular, Node.js), and led major backend upgrades (e.g., Spring Boot migrations). While my core tech stack includes Angular, Node.js, and .NET, I’m adaptable and have experience working across stacks and toolchains — always focused on system design, DevOps maturity, and customer impact.
Beyond delivery, I care deeply about building engineering cultures of trust, technical excellence, and continuous learning. I’ve mentored engineers into leadership roles and established CI/CD, test automation, and documentation practices that outlive individual contributors.
My current interests include:
Driving impact at the intersection of AI, real-time systems, and cloud scale
Engineering leadership roles where I can lead platform teams, modernize architecture, and coach high-potential developers
Product-led companies with strong design + engineering synergy
Exploring emerging technologies like AI-assisted development, modular platform SDKs, and developer experience (DevEx) tooling
I’m looking for an opportunity where I can bring together technical depth, architectural thinking, and people leadership to help build products that scale and teams that thrive.
