About

I’m an Engineering Manager and former Senior Engineer with 7+ years of experience leading and scaling remote, cross-functional software teams across Europe. I thrive at the intersection of engineering and product, defining strategy, aligning stakeholders, and turning complex ideas into reliable, data-driven systems. At Sympower, Marley Spoon, and Metry, I’ve built and led distributed teams delivering SaaS platforms that drive sustainability, efficiency, and measurable business impact. I focus on creating the conditions for engineers to do their best work, clarity of purpose, healthy delivery cycles, and a culture of trust and accountability. My approach is pragmatic: I value pragmatic processes over dogma, continuous improvement over perfection and growing engineers through coaching and mentoring.
