He has led engineering chapters and product teams, shipping cloud-native microservices and data pipelines using Node.js, Nest, Apollo Federation, Kubernetes, and a broad AWS stack (Glue, Athena, Lambda, Kinesis, Redshift). His background spans rapid startup delivery and large-scale enterprise integration projects—from payment unification and internet banking to AI-powered onboarding platforms—where he combined product strategy, security, and DevOps practices.
