About Me
Software Engineering Leader with 14+ years of experience, from hands-on engineer to building and scaling global teams across fintech, crypto, low-code platforms, real-time ad bidding, and media & publishing. Now focused on engineering strategy and architecture with an AI first mindset.
I am a product-minded engineer who stays hands-on with architecture and development while leading teams.
Outside of work, I enjoy staying active, taking workout classes, and going on walks where I talk through ideas with my AIs (ideally with a good cup of coffee in hand). I am endlessly curious about how both humans and machines learn, which is drawing me deeper into healthtech and physical AI.
