What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

With over 23 years of experience driving the full software development lifecycle, I excel in steering both tactical projects and strategic programs. My expertise spans crafting and optimizing CI/CD pipelines, cloud-native architectures, and legacy modernizations. I have a proven track record of integrating advanced tools, such as Microsoft Copilot, to elevate developer efficiency and code quality.

As a results-oriented leader, I have successfully led cross-functional, geographically distributed teams with an emphasis on agile delivery. My strong communication, stakeholder engagement, and problem-solving skills enable me to consistently meet aggressive deadlines in dynamic environments. I am passionate about coaching engineers and championing knowledge-sharing to foster an innovative, collaborative culture.
