A seasoned technology leader with over 16 years of experience (US – last 7 years, Europe – 9 years). Passionate about Developer Productivity, High-Load and Product Infra. Over a decade in engineering leadership roles has equipped me with the ability to establish, coach, and motivate high-performing, inclusive, and cross-functional teams. My expertise includes hiring ICs and managers, crafting strategic alignment, anticipating risks, structuring organizations for efficient execution, and delivering high-impact projects on time and within budget. I've had the privilege of leading and collaborating with exceptional engineers at mature organizations (Cisco, RedHat, SoftServe) and startups (Yottaa). These experiences have refined my understanding of how to build superior infrastructure and products, from ideation to delivery. I am deeply passionate about the process of transforming well-conceived blueprints into market-leading offerings that enhance the lives of engineers and customers. I thrive on empowering organizations, fostering growth, and aligning individual efforts with overarching value creation. I take pride in bringing out the best in people.
