Mapon

Technical Lead

Jan 2025 – Aug 2025 · 7 mos

  • In this leadership role I was required to adapt at blazingly fast speed to understand main domain and key responsibilities of the team.
  • Introducing clean, well-defined and scalable processes allowed me addressing existing challenges that team has been busy with for a while.
  • Changes in the environment opened an opportunity for me to solely define direction and focus for the team. That lead to significant commitment to multiple technical initiatives and commit to the solutions that addresses quirks of entire software development department, not just a single team.
  • Matching company goals to each members personal goals made it possible for the team to keep focused and deliver astonishing results.
