About

I’m a Staff / Principal Software Engineer who works at the intersection of system design, hands-on engineering, and technical leadership. I’ve spent most of my career building and evolving production systems in small teams, where clarity, judgment, and ownership matter more than titles or process. I’m usually involved from early design decisions through production, and I often act as the technical escalation point when systems fail in real-world conditions. My background includes building multi-tenant SaaS platforms from the ground up, modernizing legacy systems, and improving performance and reliability in data-intensive applications. I enjoy working close to the code while also thinking long-term about system health, scalability, and developer experience. I’m most effective in environments that value deep technical ownership, thoughtful trade-offs, and collaboration over ceremony.

Software Development Team Lead

Promoted

Apr 2024 – Present · 2 yrs 1 mo

Hands-on technical leader in a small product-focused company. I lead a team of engineers while remaining deeply involved in architecture, backend development, and production support.
I act as the primary technical reference point across the organization, including incident escalation with clients, system design decisions, and introducing new tools and practices when they prove valuable in real work.
Over time, I helped move the team toward more predictable delivery by automating deployments and improving operational workflows. I also led several performance-critical SQL Server optimizations by analyzing execution plans, introducing targeted indexes, and rewriting inefficient queries.
Alongside this, I introduced Generative AI tooling (starting with GitHub Copilot) and ran internal sessions on large language models and practical usage patterns, helping the team improve daily development flow while addressing technical debt.
