What I'm looking for

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

As a Chief Technology Officer at Xora, I have been instrumental in driving feature development while remaining hands-on with coding. My role involves supporting QA processes, establishing monitoring systems, and collaborating on technical plans that align with our product roadmap. I take pride in enhancing our build processes through the integration of automated testing and ensuring transparency in our unit test coverage.

Previously, as a Senior Full Stack Engineer at Doorway, I contributed significantly to building the platform from the ground up, focusing on quality and reliability through automated testing and key integrations with major payment systems. My experience as an Engineering Manager at EQS Group allowed me to lead multiple teams in developing ESG and Sustainability products, where I emphasized process improvement and project delivery efficiency.

With a diverse background in software development and engineering management, I have successfully guided startups and established teams, fostering innovative environments that prioritize quality and efficiency. I am committed to leveraging my technical expertise and leadership skills to drive impactful outcomes in future projects.
