What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead architecture and engineering teams building scalable, reliable platforms, with opportunities to improve delivery practices, mentor engineers, and apply AI-powered product capabilities.

At Cendyn, I lead architecture and development for a large-scale knowledge-management platform used by global hotel brands, owning performance, scalability, and reliability for mission-critical systems.

I was promoted to Senior Software Engineer in under two years and received the Power Performer Award twice for consistent, high-impact delivery. I also drive CI/CD, code quality, deployment practices, mentorship, and collaboration with product and international teams.

Previously at CoffeeMug.ai and TalentMug, I led 15+ engineers building AI-powered networking and talent-intelligence platforms. We scaled to 800K+ users and 60M+ records, grew monthly active users from 10K to 80K, and delivered sub-second search and matchmaking.

Across ScaleupAlly and LawRato.com, I built Laravel, PHP, MySQL, and CodeIgniter applications, REST APIs, and integrations. I enjoy modernizing systems, improving delivery practices, and building reliable products that perform at scale.
