I started my career as a software engineer focused on .NET, SQL, and AWS for backend systems, while building with TypeScript, JavaScript, and React on the frontend. Since 2018 I have transitioned into solution architecture and technical leadership, combining hands-on engineering with designing scalable architectures and modernizing legacy systems to align technology with business goals. I enjoy translating complex business requirements into valuable technical solutions, maintaining and publishing clear system designs, and guiding teams through architectural decisions. I’m comfortable working with remote, cross-functional teams and mentoring engineers to adopt best practices, all while balancing long-term vision with deadlines and keeping an eye on scalability, security, and cost-effectiveness.
