About

As a Technical Project Manager and SaaS Product Expert, I specialize in leading cross-functional teams to build, scale, and deliver high-performance applications. With a strong foundational background as a Senior Software Engineer, I bring an analytical, engineering-first mindset to project management and agile leadership. Core Expertise: - Project & Agile Leadership: Managing concurrent software projects, facilitating Scrum ceremonies, and optimizing resource allocation to improve delivery efficiency. - System Architecture: Designing robust, cloud-native microservices (Node.js, AWS, Docker) capable of handling heavy concurrent traffic. - Full-Stack Innovation: Bridging backend performance with modern frontend user experiences (React, Next.js, SvelteKit, Python frameworks). My goal is to continuously drive the development of intelligent, automated systems while fostering a collaborative environment where engineering teams can level up and deliver meaningful business impact.
