With 20+ years of experience in software development and technical leadership, I’ve progressively evolved into a strategic role where I bridge engineering excellence with product vision.

I specialize in delivering scalable, high-impact web solutions by leveraging cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. My focus is on driving value beyond code—prioritizing performance, reliability, and business alignment.

I’ve led cross-functional teams using modern tech stacks (Spring Boot, Kotlin, Java, GraphQL, Kubernetes) and DevOps practices (CI/CD with Git), achieving key engineering outcomes such as:
• MTBF > 90 days
• Carryover < 5%
• 0% Post-Release Defects & Rollback Rate

As a mentor and team lead, I align technical growth with business goals, empowering engineers to take ownership of delivery and innovation. I’m consistently praised by internal stakeholders for delivering solutions that require minimal rework and closely align with evolving business needs.

My scope also includes product gap analysis, UX/UI collaboration, Agile/Scrum leadership, and backlog prioritization. These experiences have naturally led me toward a Technical Product Owner path—where I aim to translate complex technical possibilities into user-centered, commercially viable product outcomes
