What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning, where I can lead teams and drive impactful projects.

I am a lead software engineer with a focus on front-end and UI architectures, bringing over two decades of experience in web development. Since 1999, I have honed my skills in building scalable architectures and reusable component libraries, while also optimizing web-client performance. My management experience began in 2012, where I have successfully led teams and contributed to various projects, ensuring best practices and functional architectural patterns are followed.

Throughout my career, I have been passionate about sharing knowledge as a speaker, teacher, and lecturer. I have a strong opinion on software testing and the importance of semantics in development. My technical expertise includes a wide range of technologies, and I am adept at interviewing applicants for technical roles, ensuring that I build strong teams that excel in their fields.
