About

I am an Engineering Lead with 15+ years of experience building and modernizing enterprise-scale systems across retail, logistics, and e-commerce domains. Throughout my career, I have led compact, high-performing engineering teams (4–11 engineers) while remaining hands-on in architecture and system design. My focus lies in building distributed, event-driven systems that are scalable, observable, and aligned with business operations. I have contributed to large-scale warehouse management (WMS), order management (OMS), decision support systems, and enterprise integration platforms. My technical background is rooted in the .NET ecosystem, with deep experience in microservices, RabbitMQ-based messaging, Redis caching, real-time communication (SignalR), and CI/CD transformations using Azure DevOps, Jenkins, Docker, and Kubernetes. Beyond technology, I actively work on: Engineering process optimization DevOps maturity Cross-team collaboration AI-assisted development adoption Architecture standardization I am particularly passionate about bridging business strategy with engineering execution and enabling teams to build reliable, scalable platforms that create measurable operational impact.
