Senior IT professional with 15+ years of experience across fintech, energy & utilities, hyperscaler cloud, and the public sector.
Computer science engineer by training, program manager and enterprise architect by practice. I work at the intersection of technical depth and strategic execution โ leading cross-functional teams, shaping software architectures, and driving digital transformation initiatives from vision to delivery.
My background spans software engineering, enterprise & solutions architecture, agile delivery, and IT governance. These days I focus on the organizational and strategic layer โ but I never lost the technical instinct.
- Designing and delivering complex digital programs
- Defining architectural standards and integration patterns (microservices, API-led, event-driven)
- Leading cross-functional teams with a mix of strategic vision and hands-on execution
- Building automation pipelines and AI-powered workflows to make teams move faster
Technology has always been my playground, not just my profession. I genuinely enjoy getting my hands dirty โ exploring new tools, experimenting with emerging paradigms, and understanding how things work under the hood, even when it's not strictly in my job description.
Lately that curiosity has taken me deep into AI: building agent workflows, vibe coding side projects, and orchestrating LLMs to automate complex tasks that would otherwise take days. I pick up new stacks and tools quickly โ not to become an expert in everything, but because understanding the landscape makes me a better architect, a better leader, and honestly, just more excited to come to work.
