Summary
FinTech domain expert with experience in BioTech. I take pride in my deep understanding of technology-agnostic software
development practices, creativity, complemented by strong leadership and management skills. A seasoned expert in Ruby
and Ruby on Rails, with expertise in TypeScript and AWS certification.
Throughout my career, I’ve taken on diverse roles, from Engineer to C-level executive, and worked across various company
environments, from startups to enterprises. I have worn multiple hats, including developer, manager, and DevOps engineer,
gaining a well-rounded perspective on software development and operations.
While it’s impossible to know everything, I focus on fundamental, technology-agnostic principles that transcend specific tools
and environments. This approach enables me to adapt seamlessly, drive innovation, and succeed across different domains.
Aside from technical documentation, I read books on business and personal development, as I firmly believe that any project
is destined to fail the moment people are treated merely as assets rather than integral contributors to its success.
If you’re interested in what I bring to the table and have any questions, feel free to reach out.
Psst… This text will be outdated by tomorrow — I’m always up to something new.
Sponsorship required to work in the US/EU.
