About

I am a Senior Software Engineer with deep expertise in system architecture, scalable infrastructure, and DevOps automation. Over the years, I have led initiatives to modernize complex legacy environments, transform outdated delivery pipelines into cloud-native CI/CD systems, and introduce engineering practices that significantly improve team productivity and long-term maintainability. My work spans the full technology stack — from designing robust backend services and secure API architectures to building modern, modular frontend applications with React, micro frontends, and shared design systems.
Beyond hands-on engineering, I am passionate about enabling teams. I regularly drive cross-functional collaboration, provide technical details in decision-making processes, and represent engineering interests to stakeholders when needed. I enjoy creating clarity in complex systems, simplifying workflows through automation, and fostering a culture of quality, security, and ownership.
With experience ranging from enterprise-scale software modernization to building and launching my own mobile product as CEO/CTO, I combine strong technical depth with an entrepreneurial mindset. I value clean architecture, thoughtful abstractions, and solutions that balance innovation with reliability. Ultimately, I am motivated by building systems — technical and organizational — that empower teams to ship great products efficiently and sustainably.

August 2022 - November 2023

Senior Software Engineer

As a Senior Software Engineer, I focus on gradually migrating our Angular frontend to React. To enable seamless integration and maintain a clean, modular architecture, I introduced Module Federation, allowing both technologies to coexist without overlapping responsibilities.
In the absence of dedicated engineering managers, I also took on leadership responsibilities — representing the team in discussions with directors and C-level executives, contributing to both technical decision-making and team-related matters.
