What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me to innovate and lead technology strategies, while fostering a collaborative and growth-oriented culture.

With 25 years of experience in SaaS and enterprise software development, I have honed my skills in technology leadership over the past 12 years. My expertise lies in defining product features, technology stacks, and architecture, translating customer feedback into actionable technical roadmaps, and managing successful releases. I have led the full lifecycle of 10 digital products across various industries, including HealthTech, E-commerce, and Banking, ensuring that both internal and external applications meet the highest standards.

As a hands-on technical lead, I am deeply involved in all facets of digital product development, from front-end and back-end architecture to CI/CD and UI/UX design. My experience as a Fractional CTO has allowed me to partner with over 30 clients, managing 160 developers across multiple teams and time zones. I excel at aligning technology strategies with business objectives, modernizing infrastructures, and fostering high-performing cultures.
