About

With over 9 years of experience in software development and engineering management, I am passionate about building and leading high-performing teams that deliver innovative and scalable solutions for the online fashion industry. As the Engineering Manager for the Search & Ranks Cluster at FARFETCH, I oversee the design, development, and maintenance of the search and ranking systems that power the platform's user experience and revenue growth. I am driven by the mission of connecting the curators, creators, and consumers of fashion in a seamless and personalized way, and I value collaboration, diversity, and excellence in my work. In my current role, I am responsible for managing five teams, totaling over 25 professionals in software engineering, machine learning, and data science. I lead the restructuring efforts for the cluster to boost efficiency, quality, and alignment with the product vision and roadmap. I also act as the hiring manager for the cluster, ensuring that we attract, retain, and develop the best talent in the market. Some of the skills that I use and improve in my role are engineering management, engineering leadership, management engineering, recommendations, and .net core.
