I’m a Lead Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience across cybersecurity, SaaS, digital advertising, and HR tech. My core strengths lie in full-stack development (TypeScript, Next.js, NestJS, PostgreSQL, AWS), system design, and team leadership. Throughout my career, I’ve led cross-functional engineering teams and driven end-to-end development of key products—from internal platforms to large-scale web services. I’ve successfully managed project timelines, recruited and coached engineers, and created a culture of ownership and technical excellence. My leadership approach emphasizes clarity, trust, and long-term code quality. Beyond coding, I focus on building scalable and maintainable systems that align with business goals. Whether optimizing performance, designing architectures, or mentoring engineers, I aim to deliver real-world impact through technology.
