What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior technical leadership roles where I can lead architecture, security, and data-driven solutions, mentor teams, and work on impactful projects with opportunities for relocation or travel.

I am an engineer and manager with deep experience in team leadership, IT architecture, and delivering practical modern IT solutions, including AI integrations. I balance strategic objectives with hands-on implementation to achieve measurable results.

As a long-time technical leader and CTO, I have built IT departments, designed database architectures, and created efficient technical workflows that improved delivery and operations. I have overseen security initiatives, including PCI DSS-related work, and managed external partnerships with banks and processing systems.

My background spans senior engineering, web development, DevOps, and mobile development, with hands-on experience running projects of varying scale and providing technical consultations. I recruit and lead teams, coordinate outsourcing, and establish knowledge bases and support tools to sustain operational excellence.

I am open to relocation and business travel and seek roles where I can apply my technical leadership, secure architecting, and data-driven approach to deliver robust, scalable IT solutions.
