I have been working in technology since 2001, starting as a front-end developer and transitioning into server-side open-source development before moving into Microsoft technologies as a full-stack developer in 2007. Since then I have progressed into technical management, recruiting and building high-performing teams, both in-house and offshore, and I enjoy shaping effective methodologies that drive on-time product delivery. As a Certified Scrum Master, I actively promote Scrum practices across teams, and I thrive on collaborating with BAs, QA, and DevOps to design robust architectures and automation. I stay hands-on where it adds value, while guiding teams to deliver quality software across the full lifecycle.
