About
I’m a Tech Lead and Engineering Manager with 13+ years of experience building software, leading engineering teams, and turning ideas into production systems.
My experience spans software engineering, mobile and backend development, cloud infrastructure, and applied AI. I’ve worked across both hands-on engineering and engineering management, giving me a perspective that combines technical depth with team leadership and product thinking.
A significant part of my work today is building practical AI systems, from LLM-powered applications and AI agents to automation, developer tools, and AI features integrated into real-world products. I enjoy going beyond prototypes and working through the engineering challenges required to make these systems reliable and useful in production.
