What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to lead engineering teams, foster innovation, and drive impactful projects in a collaborative environment.

With over 15 years of experience in software engineering, I have excelled as a Technical Lead, Engineering Manager, and Head of Engineering. My journey has been marked by a commitment to fostering collaborative environments and optimizing software architecture. At Wonderbly, I led a front-end development project that utilized Astro, Typescript, and Docker, significantly improving our CI/CD pipeline efficiency by 50%. My strategic contributions at Vinterior not only doubled the engineering team size but also shifted our focus to a quarterly product strategy, enhancing our overall productivity.

My technical expertise spans a wide range of technologies, including Ruby on Rails, Javascript, and AWS. I have a proven track record of delivering impactful features, such as a streamlined checkout process and a consolidated messaging service, which have directly contributed to improved user experiences and increased conversion rates. I am passionate about mentoring junior engineers, ensuring that they grow in their roles while maintaining high standards of code quality and performance.
