Principal Engineering Manager | Technical Strategy Leader | Scalable Systems & High-Impact Teams

From hands-on coding to leading cross-functional engineering teams, my journey from Software Developer to CTO has been defined by a relentless focus on building scalable systems, driving technical excellence, and nurturing high-performing teams. I bring a rare combination of deep technical expertise, architectural leadership, and people-first management that enables organizations to ship impactful, future-proof software.

As a Principal Engineering Manager, I lead from both the whiteboard and the war room—defining technical direction, managing engineering execution, and empowering teams to deliver scalable, resilient, and maintainable systems. I bridge strategy and implementation, aligning architectural decisions with business objectives while cultivating engineering culture, operational excellence, and team growth.

My leadership spans modern architectural approaches—microservices, cloud-native platforms, and event-driven systems—combined with a strong execution focus and pragmatic decision-making. I work across product, architecture, and engineering to align roadmaps, guide complex technical initiatives, and coach senior engineers toward impactful outcomes.

🚀 Engineering Leadership & Impact

Whether modernizing legacy systems, scaling greenfield platforms, or leading technical transformation across organizations, I’ve consistently driven results in dynamic, high-growth environments. I’ve led architecture and execution across multiple product lines, championed DevOps adoption, and instilled engineering best practices to elevate quality, velocity, and team morale.

🏆 Recognized Technical Leader

As a Microsoft MVP (2015) and CodeProject MVP (2013–2019), I’ve been recognized for contributions to the engineering community. I authored Mastering Entity Framework (Packt UK) and actively engage as a Udemy instructor and speaker, helping engineers and leaders navigate modern system design challenges.

Above all, I’m passionate about building strong engineering teams, clear technical strategies, and scalable systems that solve real-world problems. I lead with empathy, operate with clarity, and strive to make engineering a strategic asset within every organization I work with.
