ABOUT ME
Senior Software Engineer and Product Manager
Senior Software Engineer and Product Manager

I am a software engineer with over 10 years of experience in product development and programming in Python/Django and JavaScript, as well as their respective web frameworks. My focus is on delivering results while being a supportive member of the team, and I am well-versed in agile and lean project management methodologies and have developed a range of skills beyond application development, including problem-solving, time-management, organization, communication, and collaboration.

Throughout my career, I have successfully delivered custom software projects and implemented technology to enhance business strategy. I also provide specialized consulting services in the form of enterprise and solution architecture and governance, drawing from my extensive experience implementing Agile methodologies in both pure and hybrid models. My philosophy of success centers on simplicity, and I pride myself on implementing complex solutions in the simplest manner possible for optimal success and maintainability.

Developed expertise in the software development life cycle, from concept, architecture, design, implementation, and testing. I write technical architecture documents, and plan end-to-end technical scope of projects including sprint planning. I collaborate with cross-functional Agile teams, mentor and guide teams on complex tasks and activities, identify risks, and provided technical support. Additionally, I ensured code maintainability and quality by setting up quality processes and checkpoints, estimating efforts, and providing technical solutions.
