What I'm looking for

I am looking for leadership roles or intellectually stimulating full-stack positions with passionate, collaborative teams.

I am a passionate Chief Technology Officer with over six years of experience in driving innovation and delivering scalable solutions. My journey has been marked by a commitment to mentorship and leading high-performing teams, where I leverage my expertise in full-stack development and cloud infrastructure to create customer-centric solutions for Fortune 500 clients.

In my current role as CTO at Waydev, I have successfully coordinated teams to align with business goals while remaining hands-on with coding. My leadership has fostered innovation and team growth, and I have a proven track record of enhancing application security and delivering innovative features. I take pride in my ability to manage critical situations and resolve urgent customer issues, often learning solutions on the spot to ensure customer satisfaction.

Previously, as Vice President of Engineering, I led the technical strategy and mentored teams, significantly contributing to the company's growth and success. I am now seeking leadership or full-stack roles that foster creativity, collaboration, and impactful innovation.
