What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role where I can drive cloud-native architecture, mentor engineers, improve delivery through DevOps, and build collaborative, high-performing teams.

I am an experienced engineering leader and software architect with a proven track record of leading high-performing teams to deliver scalable, high-quality software. I champion technical excellence, observability, and DevOps practices, and have repeatedly improved delivery cadence and stakeholder satisfaction.

I have led and mentored teams of up to 20 engineers, introduced monitoring that reduced debugging time by 80%, implemented CI/CD pipelines, and redesigned delivery processes to improve reliability and automation. I enjoy hiring and developing talent, documenting engineering processes, and solving complex technical and organizational challenges.
