What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on leadership role where I can scale engineering teams, drive AI-enabled product delivery, and balance rapid prototyping with production-grade reliability.

I am a hands-on Chief Technology Officer with over 16 years building products and 10 years in engineering leadership, combining deep technical fluency with product and people-first management.

At my current company I manage cross-functional engineering teams and led the delivery of a proprietary GenAI matching engine that cut portfolio build time from 78 minutes to 12 minutes and improved candidate matching speed 10x, while steering a strategic migration from legacy to SaaS.

My background spans backend, frontend and infrastructure: Node.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, React, AWS Serverless and GenAI/LLM, with international experience including three years in Canada and a Professional Scrum Master I certification.

I focus on rapid prototyping, delivery excellence, measurable agile processes and cost-efficient technical strategy to free engineering capacity for innovation and to deliver predictable, high-impact product outcomes.
