Profile
Engineering leader with 13+ years of building products from the first line of code to stable, high-traffic production. I specialise in backend architecture with Node.js and NestJS — designing scalable, secure systems for digital wallets, payments, regulatory compliance and high-load SaaS.
As a hands-on Tech Lead, I combine architectural ownership with people leadership: setting engineering standards, mentoring developers, reducing delivery risk and translating business goals into clear technical plans together with Product, QA, UI/UX and PMs. I am comfortable owning production — infrastructure, databases, monitoring and incident response — not just the code.
