About

With 14+ years of experience in software development, I specialize in front-end technologies like React, GraphQL, and CSS-in-JS. I currently lead a team of six engineers at Microsoft Teams EDU, developing scalable applications that serve 80 million users. While front-end development is my core strength, my work in full-stack technologies—including Node.js, Azure Service Fabric, .NET, and CI/CD—enables me to deliver end-to-end solutions. I’m passionate about mentoring engineers and helping them take on new challenges. I also manage project roadmaps, handling sprint planning and quarterly cycles to ensure alignment with business goals. Known for driving impactful initiatives, I thrive in fast-paced environments and focus on both technical leadership and strategic planning.
