About

Experienced R&D Group Leader | Building High Performing Engineering Teams * I bring over 15 years of experience in leading and mentoring cross-functional engineering teams.

I’ve led the modernization of our infrastructure by breaking down monoliths and transitioning to a microservices multi-tenant environment, to promote scalability and operational efficiency. * As a customer-centric leader, I leverage my strong social skills to bring people together and solve organizational challenges collaboratively. I am a highly versatile and fast learner, always adapting to new technologies and challenges.
