Who am I?

#about-me

Clear the path. Lead from the front.

11+ years in the trenches. Solution Architect. Technical Lead. I like to go first โ€” first to face the fire, first to find the way.


Leadership, to me, isn't about standing in the back; it's about going first. I navigate through technical complexity, architectural risks, and legacy debt to clear a safe path for my team of 80+ technologists to sprint effectively.

From orchestrating massive Enterprise Programs to pioneering AI-driven SDLC adoption, I specialize in Architecture Scalingโ€”building systems (and teams) that don't just work, but thrive under pressure.

#philosophy

๐ŸŽฏ Lead from the Front

I don't believe in "delegate and disappear". When the team faces a tough technical decision or a critical bug at 2 AM, I'm right there in the trenches. Leadership means going first.

๐Ÿงน Build to Scale, Not to Patch

Quick fixes create technical debt. I architect systems that anticipate growth, embrace change, and empower teams to iterate without fear of breaking everything.

๐Ÿค Mentor > Manager

My goal isn't to have people report to meโ€”it's to make them good enough to lead their own teams. I invest heavily in knowledge transfer, code reviews, and creating a culture of continuous learning.

โšก Automate the Boring Stuff

If a task is repetitive and error-prone, it shouldn't be done by humans. I champion AI-driven SDLC to free engineers for creative problem-solving.
