What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me technically and allows for leadership opportunities, fostering innovation and team growth.

I am a dedicated Software Development Engineer with extensive experience in leading engineering teams and architecting scalable solutions. At OvationCXM, I served as the Engineering Manager in Architecture, where I spearheaded the development of a scalable connector platform for developers. My leadership resulted in a remarkable 30% promotion rate among my direct reports, showcasing my commitment to fostering talent and innovation within my teams.

Previously, as a Fullstack Engineer and Team Lead at Boomtown, I played a pivotal role in establishing business domain models and use cases, contributing to the development of public APIs and client UIs. My technical expertise spans a wide array of technologies, including PHP, JavaScript, and Terraform, enabling me to deliver high-quality software solutions that meet complex business needs. I am also a co-author of a patent for retail redemption software, underscoring my innovative approach to problem-solving.
