Experienced Tech Lead and Engineering Strategist with 10+ years in enterprise backend architecture, pre-sales engineering, and high-load systems design.

I bring a unique combination of deep technical expertise, product thinking, and a consultative mindset to help businesses build scalable, resilient, and value-driven software solutions.

My career began with hands-on development in banking and e-commerce, gradually evolving into leading high-performing teams and designing distributed systems across industries. Along the way, I’ve grown into a trusted technical partner, helping clients shape their technical vision and translate it into robust architecture and delivery plans.

I’m a strong team player with a collaborative mindset, known as a go-to person for key technical areas. I mentor peers, proactively share knowledge, and drive internal improvements. My work is guided by precision, clear communication, and a strong commitment to continuous improvement.

I also have solid domain experience in banking, e-commerce, and payment systems, enabling me to align technical strategy with real-world business needs and regulatory environments.
