Message

At AD Ports Group, I built an internal Developer Experience platform with an AI Skills framework, a custom CLI, and a VS Code extension, bringing governed AI capabilities into developer workflows.

I also established standards for responsible AI-assisted engineering and rolled out a framework covering the software development lifecycle. This work cut coding errors by 70%.

Before moving into DevEx, I led development of Employee Gateway, a unified employee mobile platform built with NestJS and React Native, and introduced CI/CD pipelines that achieved 99% uptime.

Earlier at AD Ports Group, I led teams delivering enterprise applications including ATLP – Economic Zone and MARSA. I also contributed to the logistics AI agents initiative recognized by Guinness World Records.
