About Me
My Story
"The only way to do great work is to love what you do"
— Steve Jobs
I'm an engineering leader with a strong focus on building scalable, secure, and high-impact financial platforms. Currently working as a Head of Engineering, I operate at the intersection of technology strategy, product delivery, and people leadership.
I've held senior engineering leadership and architecture roles at multiple unicorn-scale organizations, operating in fast-paced environments where platforms need to scale quickly, remain compliant, and support millions of users and transactions. My experience spans payments, lending, and embedded financial services, with a strong focus on building resilient systems that can grow with the business.
Having worked across both startups and global consulting firms, I partner closely with C-suite and senior leadership as a trusted advisor — aligning technology strategy with growth objectives, regulatory requirements, and operational excellence. I'm particularly passionate about building strong engineering cultures, developing leaders, and enabling teams to deliver with confidence and ownership.
