At Adyen, I lead a six-person Payments Engine team, proposing OKRs and KPIs centered on scalability and reliability. I improved acquirer-connection reliability and helped maintain 95%+ authorization rates across Visa, Mastercard, and other payment methods.
I build collaborative teams through regular coaching, hiring globally distributed talent, and giving teams autonomy over their own databases. I progressed from Senior Software Developer to Squad Leader to Engineering Manager in two years and received a Tech Event 2022 award for strengthening internal communication and collaboration.
Previously at Amazon Music & Big Data Technologies, I built routing services handling 600+ TPS, account-management and auditing systems, and deployment and test improvements. My earlier work spans cybersecurity, private-cloud environments, Android payments over Bluetooth LE, and strategic public-sector consulting.
