Principal Engineering Manager
Building Scalable Systems & High-Impact Teams
20+ years turning complex challenges into elegant solutions. From hands-on coding to leading cross-functional engineering teams — I bridge strategy and implementation.
Cultivating code, growing teams, and nurturing systems that thrive.
From hands-on coding to leading cross-functional engineering teams, my journey from Software Developer to CTO-level leadership 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.
My leadership spans modern architectural approaches — microservices, cloud-native platforms, and event-driven systems — combined with a strong execution focus and pragmatic decision-making.
