Summary

Senior Software Engineer and Tech Lead with 13+ years of experience designing and building scalable, secure, accessible, and high-performance digital products. I combine technical leadership with hands-on engineering, drawing on deep expertise in full-stack development and extensive experience in e-commerce. I drive the adoption of agentic AI across the entire software development lifecycle, from product definition and design to development, testing, and DevOps, to accelerate delivery and improve team productivity.
