About

I’m a Senior Developer Supervisor with over six years of experience in banking, fintech, and SaaS. I began my career as a backend engineer and grew into a leadership role where I guide teams in building scalable, high-impact solutions.

Over the years, I’ve led initiatives that modernized legacy systems, boosted performance, and enabled platforms to handle high transaction volumes with speed, reliability, and security — essential in industries where every second counts.

For me, leadership is about more than delegating tasks. It’s about mentoring, fostering collaboration, and creating an environment where engineers feel ownership of their work, are encouraged to innovate, and have the support to grow their skills.

I embrace tools like GitHub Copilot to speed up delivery without sacrificing quality, and I’m always looking for smarter ways to solve complex problems. My ideal role blends hands-on technical work with strategic leadership — architecting solutions, guiding teams, and driving projects from concept to launch.

I approach challenges with a calm, solutions-focused mindset and see obstacles as opportunities to improve. My goal is simple: help teams deliver exceptional products that scale, perform, and stand the test of time.
