background
15+ years in software, from backend engineer to engineering leader
I've spent 15+ years in software. I started as a backend engineer and grew into leading engineering organizations, most recently in hospitality technology and regulated fintech. Before that, I held senior engineering roles in travel marketplaces and on-demand mobility.
how I help
Fractional engineering leadership
Team productivity and culture
Set clear team boundaries, roles, and ownership. Introduce agile practices and SDLC standards (planning, QA, deployment) the team can keep. Coach new engineering managers as they move from building to leading.
Tech stack review
Review your backend systems and infrastructure, find what slows you down or costs too much, and suggest practical improvements, from service design to cloud right-sizing.
Open-source adoption
Find where open-source tools can replace paid software, and plan a safe migration.
Applied AI adoption
Find practical uses of AI in your workflows and products, with guardrails like human confirmation and role-based access.
