PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Senior Software Engineer and Tech Lead with 8+ years turning product vision into scalable, production-ready systems across fintech, SaaS, and enterprise platforms. I work where products meet technology, building solutions that deliver real value to stakeholders and users while keeping systems reliable, performant, and maintainable. From building an entire technology organization from zero as CTO of a cross-border fintech startup to owning observability infrastructure and leading code modernization of legacy systems at my current role, I bring a consistent track record of meaningful impact: doubling client acquisition, cutting costs by 65%, and shipping platforms serving 10,000+ users across 4 countries. I thrive in environments where engineering leadership, full-stack expertise, and a product-minded approach drive business outcomes.
