πŸ‘€ About Me

I'm a senior technology leader with 20+ years in software engineering, including 10+ years building and scaling products in fast-paced startups. I specialize in full-stack product engineering, AI/automation, cloud architecture, and leading high-ownership engineering teams.

My focus is building lean, scalable, maintainable systems that solve real business problems β€” from modernizing legacy platforms to shipping new SaaS products end-to-end. I enjoy bridging tech + product, simplifying complexity, and enabling teams to deliver consistently through clean architecture and strong engineering culture.
