• As Engineering Manager at Mollie, I had the privilege of leading a cross-functional team of ~5 engineers to build, optimize, and scale core payment and fraud prevention systems, systems that safeguarded over €350 million for our customers and enabled the platform to handle high-value transactions with confidence. It was a thrill to balance the art of technical leadership with the science of scaling infrastructure, all while fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration.
• Beyond the code, I took pride in mentoring engineers, conducting performance reviews, and shaping compensation strategies that aligned with both individual growth and company goals. My passion for technical excellence extended to hiring, leading rigorous interview processes to bring in talent that matched Mollie’s vision.
• But the real magic happened when we rolled out Molliecon, our first-ever technical conference, and a company-wide Hackathon that drew over 100 participants. These events weren’t just about coding—they were about sparking ideas, breaking down silos between product and engineering, and proving that fun and productivity can go hand-in-hand.
• I helped scale systems, lead teams, and build a culture where engineers could thrive, while ensuring every transaction felt as secure as it did seamlessly.

• As Lead Developer at Caple, I orchestrated the creation of an ESG rating platform and championed a cloud-first strategy, guiding the migration of critical systems to AWS. This shift not only cut annual infrastructure costs by €40,000 but also laid the groundwork for scalable, agile operations, proving that smart technical decisions can drive both efficiency and impact.

• At LearnApp, I didn’t just build a tech team, I built a legacy. As Co-founder & CTO, I scaled a startup from MVP to 150,000+ users, all while leading a cross-functional distributed team of about 10 people, ensuring 99.9% uptime and a 40% drop in production bugs through CI/CD and agile rigor. My secret sauce? A blend of technical grit and people, first leadership: 25% higher team productivity, 120% YoY revenue growth, and a culture where engineers thrived (and I even taught courses like "Algorithmic Trading" on the side). After all, the best systems aren’t just built, they’re grown, one smart decision at a time.

• As one of the founding engineers at Upstox, I laid the groundwork for a scalable tech ecosystem, architecting the end-to-end infrastructure that powered the platform’s journey from a startup to a 1.5M+ user base, of course, now they are one of the largest stock brokers in India with 20M+ clients. Leading the engineering team from the ground up, I designed systems that not only handled 5% of the National Stock Exchange’s daily trading volume but also became the backbone of a platform serving 1.5M+ active users. It was a blend of strategic thinking, relentless problem-solving, and a dash of stubbornness to ensure every line of code contributed to growth.
