Engineering Manager · Full-Stack Architect · Agentic AI Builder
11+ years building, scaling and leading teams behind enterprise web platforms
I lead engineering teams that ship and scale enterprise software, and I still write code every week. My work sits where platform architecture, team leadership and applied AI meet.
- 🧭 Leadership. I build and mentor teams, run delivery end to end, and turn ambiguous business problems into systems that hold up in production.
- 🏗️ Architecture. Microservices, performance engineering and web-scale system design across the JavaScript/TypeScript, Python and AWS stack.
- 🤖 Agentic AI. I'm building tooling to make LLM agents reliable, from MCP server evaluation to tool-selection benchmarking.
- ✍️ Writing. I write about system design, scaling and web engineering on Medium.
