What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can lead engineering productivity and correctness—building clean, testable systems with strong CI/CD, measurable quality, and practical automation from the start.

I’m an Engineering Manager with hands-on software engineering depth, driven by a simple belief: “the only way to develop software fast is to do it right from the beginning.” At Databricks (Lakebase Developer Productivity, Correctness), I managed two teams of engineers and led major CI/CD and tooling integrations, including migrating infrastructure from Hetzner to AWS and re-architecting parts of CI/CD to meet security and compliance practices—cutting infrastructure costs by 75% post-migration while keeping test tooling strong.

My background spans Senior QA and Senior Software Engineering, where I’ve focused on software quality and reliability through automation and measurable improvements. At Neon, I reduced UI test flakiness to 99% stability and API integration flakiness to 95%, improved execution time, and helped teams by introducing metrics, ownership models, and testing best practices; at Aiven, I worked on Kafka/Flink offerings and improved performance and stability.

I also bring product and full-stack experience from Shopify and a technical leadership track from Mendix, so I can bridge architecture, development workflow, and verification.
