Profile

Self-taught engineer, equally at home in the code and in defining a technical roadmap.

I combine technical excellence, product vision and leadership to ship performant, maintainable applications that solve real problems.

Over twelve years I've moved from hands-on full-stack delivery into technical leadership: building teams, defining front-end standards, and owning architecture from first commit to scaled production.

My playground: modern front-end (React, Next.js, Vue) backed by robust Node APIs, with constant care for performance, Core Web Vitals and maintainability.
