Short Bio

I'm a software developer and Engineering Manager based in UK, with over 6 years of experience spanning various industries. My passion lies in building software that not only solves problems but also delivers tangible value to users. Over the years, I've transitioned from hands-on coding to leading teams, where I now focus on empowering developers to do their best work.

I believe in the power of collaboration, clean code, and user-centric design. Whether it's architecting a complex system or refining a team's workflow, I'm always looking for ways to improve the process and the product.

Career

Currently, I serve as an Engineering Manager at Eagerworks, where I lead multiple dynamic teams. My goal is to foster an environment where innovation thrives and delivery is consistent.

My day-to-day involves more than just technical oversight. I focus on:

  • Team Growth: Mentoring engineers and guiding future leaders.
  • Process Optimization: Refining agile workflows to remove bottlenecks.
  • Strategic Alignment: Ensuring technical decisions support business objectives.
  • Technical Excellence: Promoting best practices and code quality.

Throughout my career, I've cultivated a deep understanding of a modern tech stack, allowing me to bridge the gap between technical constraints and product vision. My core technologies include:

  • TypeScript
  • Ruby on Rails
  • React
  • AWS
  • React Native
  • Swift

This technical versatility, combined with my leadership experience, enables me to adapt to diverse project requirements and drive success in multidisciplinary environments.
