Turning engineering excellence
into business impact

Engineering leader with 16+ years of experience managing high-performing teams and building scalable cloud & AI-driven systems. At Diri, I lead 10–12 engineers, modernized infrastructure to achieve 99.99% uptime SLA, enabled zero-downtime deployments, and scaled daily transaction processing capacity 6×.

By integrating AI tools — Copilot, Cline, Claude Code, n8n — I boosted feature delivery output by ~30% and streamlined code reviews, embedding modern developer experience practices across the team.

Passionate about fostering strong engineering culture, driving innovation, and aligning technical excellence with business outcomes. I believe great software is built by great teams — and great teams are grown intentionally.

How I work with
my teams

"Great software is built by great teams — and great teams are grown intentionally."

01
💬
1:1s & Growth

Weekly structured conversations — not status updates. I use a shared doc with standing topics: blockers, recent wins, career goals. It's a conversation first, follow-up second.

02
🎯
Hiring

I write job specs with the team, not for them. Structured rubrics, calibrated panel debriefs. Curiosity and ownership weigh more than years on a CV or raw technical depth.

03
🔍
Incidents & Postmortems

Blameless by default. The write-up focuses on timeline, contributing factors, and system improvements — not who was on-call. I read every postmortem within 24 hours.

04
🗺️
Technical Direction

I stay hands-on enough to read code and review architecture, but don't write production code. RFC process for cross-team decisions. I ask "why" more than "how".

Let's build something
great together
