About

I'm a Senior Software Engineer and Technical Lead with over 18 years of experience in building scalable web applications, managing cloud infrastructure, and leading cross-functional teams. My technical foundation is in full-stack development using PHP (Laravel, CodeIgniter), MySQL, and JavaScript frameworks like React and Next.js. I'm also deeply experienced in AWS architecture, having helped to my organization to reduce their cloud costs by 25% through infrastructure tuning and service optimization. Beyond hands-on development, I thrive in collaborative environments — mentoring junior developers, conducting technical interviews, facilitating Agile ceremonies, and aligning project delivery with business goals. I’ve worked closely with international teams and stakeholders across India, Finland, Romania, and France, gaining valuable experience in multicultural collaboration and strategic planning. Recognized at Ubisoft for delivering a complex feature (Birdview) without bugs — featured in their internal newsletter for excellence. I’m passionate about solving problems efficiently, simplifying complex systems, and growing both people and platforms. Always open to meaningful tech conversations and new opportunities.
