About Me

I'm a passionate software engineer and technical leader with over fifteen years of experience building scalable, cloud-native systems. I specialize in designing solutions that are not only technically robust but also cost-effective and maintainable.

Throughout my career, I've led teams in delivering high-impact projects, from startups to enterprise environments. I'm particularly interested in eventual consistency, service and interface-based architecture, systems that are safe by design, and helping teams adopt modern development workflows.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new technologies, contributing to open source projects, or sharing knowledge through technical writing and mentoring. Tinkering with new technologies or taking my family on adventures.
