Over the past 10+ years, I've built software that powers award-winning digital experiences, from sleek startups to large-scale corporate platforms. I've led development teams at agencies and product companies alike, guiding projects from initial scoping through architecture, implementation, and delivery. Whether collaborating cross-functionally or coding heads-down, I thrive in fast-paced environments where clean code and smart strategy meet real-world impact.
My experience spans full-stack web apps, mobile development, systems integrations, and complex technical problem-solving. I've architected scalable infrastructures, planned roadmaps, mentored engineers, and interfaced with clients and stakeholders to translate ideas into actionable plans. I'm as comfortable writing the code as I am leading the people behind it
What drives me is a genuine passion for software. I care about writing thoughtful, maintainable code; but also about team velocity, product usability, and long-term scalability. Outside of work, you'll find me building side projects, reading about emerging tech, playing piano, or playing tennis.
I align engineering with real business goals; whether it's shipping fast, scaling smart, or creating long-term value. Every decision I make supports the bigger picture.
I believe great software is built by great teams. I communicate clearly with teammates, stakeholders, and clients; turning complexity into clarity and keeping momentum high.
You can count on me to deliver. Whether leading teams or working independently, I plan strategically, code efficiently, and always follow through.
