ABOUT ME

Passionate About Building Scalable Solutions

With over 8+ years of experience, I specialize in creating scalable applications and leading development teams to success.

My Journey

I started my career as a mobile developer and quickly expanded into full-stack engineering, gaining end-to-end expertise in building scalable applications.

Over the years, I've worked extensively across fintech, BNPL, travel tech, and e-commerce, partnering with both fast-moving startups and established enterprises. Some engagements were product-driven, others project-based, but in each case my focus remained the same: creating solutions that drive growth and deliver measurable business impact.

With a strong growth mindset, I've continuously evolved my technical and leadership capabilities. This journey has led me to mentor 150+ developers, deliver 15+ high-impact projects, and eventually take on engineering leadership roles.

Today, I combine hands-on technical depth with the ability to align teams and technology with business goals, helping companies innovate, scale, and stay competitive.
