About

I am a hands-on technology servant-leader with 15 years of experience at the intersection of technology, business, and people leadership. My career has been shaped by building and scaling large-scale application architectures, driving performance optimization, and delivering solutions that create real business impact for global brands. With proven experience in leading teams of 50+ engineers, running a P&L entity, managing strategic customer/startup relationships, I bring a balance of technical depth and business acumen. Beyond execution, I’m passionate about building a culture of growth, collaboration, and innovation where people thrive. I’m also a certified Emotional Intelligence practitioner, which helps me drive empathetic leadership and nurture high-performing teams that go beyond delivering projects — they build lasting impact. Currently, I’m contributing at Amadeus, and always open to meaningful conversations on leadership, technology, and growth.
