What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles where I can lead full-stack teams, drive cloud and architecture decisions, solve performance challenges, and scale secure e-commerce or high-traffic platforms using modern stacks in an Agile environment.

I am a results-driven Development Manager, Full-Stack Team Lead and Software Architect with over 20 years building large-scale web applications, e-commerce platforms and AI-powered solutions. I lead full-stack teams, drive cloud migrations, and deliver performant, secure systems under tight deadlines.

My technical strengths include .NET Core (6/8), microservices, Azure, modern front-end frameworks (Angular, Vue.js, React), SQL and NoSQL databases, Redis, ElasticSearch and message systems like RabbitMQ. I have a strong track record resolving critical performance issues, designing system architecture, and integrating AI/ML where it adds value.

As a Certified Scrum Master and former CTO/Technical Lead across startups and enterprises, I combine technical leadership, offshore team management and hands-on development to accelerate product delivery, improve reliability, and scale platforms for high-traffic and regulated environments.
