> Senior Technology Leader | VP of Engineering | Engineering Director
Driving engineering excellence, business impact & rapid tech transformation with 20 years of experience.
I build and scale high-performance engineering organizations, modernize legacy systems, and align technology with business strategy across startups and complex, high-growth product scaleups.
// About Me
I drive the scaling and transformation of technology organizations, break down technical silos, and deliver measurable business outcomes. I operate at the intersection of engineering, product, and business, turning complex problems into clear strategies and executable plans.
Over the last 20 years, I have built and led engineering teams from small, hands-on groups to organizations of 60+ engineers. I have driven technical and organizational transformations, modernized legacy platforms, and led the adoption of AI, machine learning, and data-driven systems into customer-facing products and internal platforms. I also work with companies in an advisory and consulting capacity on engineering strategy and organizational design.
I have worked across startups and complex, high-growth product scaleups, partnering closely with founders, executives, and product leaders to align technology direction with business strategy and long-term company growth.
// Career Journey
Providing advisory and consulting support to product companies on engineering strategy, organizational design, platform evolution, and technical transformation. Supporting leadership teams during growth and scaling phases.
Led the transformation of the technology organization, introducing modern operating models (Team Topologies, Domain-Driven Design, OKRs) and establishing a strong engineering culture focused on ownership and outcomes.
Built and led cross-functional teams across product engineering, platform, and cloud infrastructure, scaling the organization while improving delivery predictability, quality, and developer experience.
Drove the migration from a monolithic architecture toward domain-oriented, event-driven services and modern cloud-native platforms, while contributing to post-merger integration, platform unification, and the introduction of data-driven decision making via a central data warehouse.
Led multiple cross-functional teams within the core domain (Banking & Matching), driving the introduction of Domain-Driven Design and enabling full domain ownership. Built and scaled engineering teams, modernized a complex monolithic platform into domain-oriented services, and ensured stable delivery in a highly regulated fintech environment.
Played a key role in post-merger integration, contributing to platform unification and cloud migration initiatives. Partnered closely with data science teams to integrate machine learning into products and customer flows.
Built strong foundations in backend engineering, distributed systems, and product development. Worked across different technology stacks and domains, gaining hands-on experience in designing, building, and operating production systems.
