What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a seasoned Lead Software Engineer with over 8 years of experience in designing, developing, and leading high-performing software engineering teams. My journey has been marked by a proven track record of delivering scalable web and mobile applications while mentoring developers and collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders. I am passionate about clean code, agile delivery, and driving engineering excellence.

In my current role at Simpson College, I led the development and implementation of a new website, ensuring security through the migration of various Drupal technologies. I introduced backend development best practices and facilitated team collaboration using tools like Slack and Jira. Previously, at Tekcitadel LLC, I built and mentored a high-performing IT team, directed the implementation of ERP and CRM systems, and initiated agile teams for faster deployment of business solutions.
