About

I’m a Tech Lead and Engineering Manager with 12+ years of experience building scalable full-stack solutions and leading high-performance teams. My core expertise spans React, Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, and cloud architecture (AWS & GCP).

 

My career bridges enterprise impact, such as rolling out a digital retail platform across 25 countries supporting 2,000+ concurrent users per market, with the agility of digital agencies, where I’ve shipped complex systems and design-oriented websites on tight deadlines without compromising quality.

 

I’ve led multidisciplinary teams across engineering, QA, design, and content; built and scaled shared component libraries; mentored engineers; and influenced product roadmaps and budgets through architectural strategy.

 

What drives me is the intersection of technology, business, and people: transforming complex challenges into sustainable, growth-ready solutions. Whether architecting systems, accelerating delivery, or coaching teams, I bring clarity, structure, and execution that delivers real business value.
