Seeking four day-hybrid or full-time in-office as part of a highly collaborative, agile team.

As a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of diverse experience spanning various technology stacks, I am deeply passionate about Frontend Development and driving transformative change. I have a proven track record of revitalizing teams through a focus on technological advancement, process optimization, and cultural evolution.

In my previous role, I championed and successfully implemented innovative methodologies such as Empowered Product Teams, Iterative Development, Trunk-based Development, Product Discovery, Monorepos, CI/CD, Code Generation, Static Analysis, and integration testing. These initiatives resulted in tangible improvements in developer experience, team capabilities, and overall product quality.

My leadership style is characterized by my ability to build trust, rally teams around a compelling product vision, provide hands-on coaching, and maintain high morale. I thrive in agile development environments and have transitioned from coaching single teams to driving organizational-wide change.


I look forward to leveraging my expertise and passion for continuous improvement to make a meaningful impact in my next role.
