What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior/tech-lead role where I can own scalable SaaS architecture, lead teams, and use AI-assisted development to ship reliable systems—especially where ownership, continuous improvement, and operational excellence matter.

I’m a software engineer and engineering leader with 10+ years of experience building and scaling enterprise SaaS systems, combining hands-on architecture with practical delivery. I’ve led cross-functional teams and owned technical roadmaps, KPIs, and incident response end-to-end.

For 4+ years as Head of Technical Product Management, I led a fully remote, distributed team of 19 engineers and drove agile delivery with product leadership—defining realistic goals, milestones, and measurable outcomes for delivery velocity, quality, and team performance. I also owned the hands-on architecture and technical roadmap of a multi-tenant SaaS contact center platform (steam-connect), including performance-focused implementation, code reviews, and long-term fixes after incidents.

I bring deep technical breadth across C#, .NET Core, Node.js, REST APIs, microservices, event-driven architecture, and production-grade DevOps (Docker, CI/CD, monitoring/alerting). I integrate AI into real workflows—LLM API + prompt engineering and AI coding tools (Claude/GitHub Copilot/ChatGPT)—and I’ve also built and deployed live production trading infrastructure independently since 2024, including a production MQL5 Expert Advisor suite and Python automation using REST/WebSocket pipelines.
