I’ve had the opportunity to lead and shape the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) for an agile product development team, overseeing critical decisions related to architecture, product design, and prioritization. My role also involved breaking down complex requirements and implementing automated testing strategies. I’m passionate about mentoring and coaching, having guided my team through goal setting, engineering KPIs, weekly one-on-ones, and the annual review process. I collaborated closely with developers to review pull requests, address technical blockers, and set clear acceptance criteria. I translated both functional and technical requirements into well-thought-out architecture, designs, and working software in partnership with product managers, UX designers, and customers. • Leading technical planning sessions, I focused on task prioritization, effort estimation, and ensuring alignment with the overall value and business needs.• One of my key projects involved designing and building a greenfield web-based dashboard, powered by AWS, with a tech stack that included React, Redux, and FastAPI. • I also integrated a React frontend microservice into our flagship application, working with AWS S3 and a shared global component library to maintain consistency with company-wide standards.• I developed an interview process that leveraged coding challenges, successfully hiring and onboarding a team of six engineers across frontend, backend, and full stack disciplines. • I’ve always been committed to enforcing best practices in coding and testing, ensuring we deliver high-quality work. • I also managed my team’s efforts in meeting annual security audits, penetration testing, product security assessments, and new application rollouts.• Our development process relied on tools like Gitflow, Docker, AWS cloud services, and CI/CD pipelines with automated deployment, which helped us stay efficient and deliver results quickly.

I specialize in translating complex technical concepts into clear, actionable insights, ensuring all stakeholders—from designers to data scientists and product managers—are aligned for cohesive project execution. My coding philosophy revolves around clean, maintainable structures with a focus on reducing coupling and ensuring a clear separation of concerns.• I'm committed to writing high-quality, well-structured code, and I prioritize reliability and performance by creating and running a range of tests, including unit, integration, and API tests. • My approach always keeps the user at the center, focusing on performance, accessibility, and intuitive design to ensure every feature is built with a clear understanding of its purpose and the user’s interaction.• I ensure that front-end systems—especially those built using Angular 2.0—adhere to coding standards with full test coverage, supported by continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.• Collaboration is key to my process. I engage in regular code reviews and pair programming sessions to promote team-wide knowledge sharing and code quality. I also work closely with backend developers to define and follow data contracts, ensuring seamless use of system APIs.

I led the development and implementation of new features and enhancements for enterprise platforms, focusing on a single-page application architecture. Using Angular 2.0 and TypeScript for the frontend, along with an ASP.NET MVC/API backend, I collaborated closely with cross-functional teams—including QA, Product Owners, UX Developers, and Business Owners—to streamline workflows, develop reusable code, and create scalable libraries for future growth. By working closely with UX designers, I ensured responsive, user-friendly interfaces, leveraging the SASS CSS framework to optimize style file compilation.• One of my key achievements was guiding the team to successfully meet project milestones and hit the release deadline for a rebranded enterprise platform, which included migrating to an Angular/TypeScript frontend. • I developed a reusable table component within the Angular 2.0/TypeScript codebase, incorporating essential features like filtering, sorting, and customizable columns to ensure consistency and efficiency throughout the application.
