About

I'm an Engineering Leader with 9+ years of experience architecting scalable SaaS platforms and leading high-performing engineering teams.

My expertise spans microservices architecture, cloud-native systems on AWS and Azure, DevOps automation, and distributed backend design — primarily in Ruby on Rails.

I've driven monolith-to-microservices transformations, maintained 99.9%+ system uptime, and consistently improved engineering delivery velocity — all while championing technical strategy, mentorship, and cross-functional alignment.
