What I'm looking for

I seek senior technical leadership roles where I can drive cloud and IoT product strategy, scale engineering teams, foster ethical culture, and deliver measurable business transformation.

I am a tactical and strategic executive leader with 20 years of experience building full-stack products, cloud platforms, and high-performing engineering teams. I combine disciplined technical implementation with imaginative market positioning to deliver business value.

Throughout my career I have led architecture and engineering efforts across enterprise, defense, and telecom sectors, delivering OAuth2 authorization services, microservices, IoT platforms, and high-throughput cloud applications. I’ve driven technical vision, roadmaps, and operational readiness for cross-functional organizations.

I have a proven record of recruiting, developing, and managing multinational teams—creating an MVP vision, establishing repeatable processes, and securing large-scale, multi-year engagements. I prioritize scalable, secure, and standards-aligned architectures while improving efficiency and reducing costs.

I am a continuous learner and developer of talent who emphasizes ethical leadership, change management, and pragmatic adoption of emerging technologies to transform product delivery and increase market differentiation.
