I'm a polyglot Software engineer and engineering manager with over 25 years of experience.


I designed, architected, and implemented medium and large scale solutions in Java, Ruby on Rails, PHP , NodeJS and Python using Kafka, RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDb, Redis, Hadoop, and Aerospike, containerized on OpenShift and on AWS using Terraform and CloudFormation to provision infrastructure.

I also recruited and led high-performing distributed engineering teams across multiple continents, building distributed, microservices architecture, and cloud-native systems in finance, e-commerce, food delivery, social media, advertising and blockchain.


I specialize in connecting the dots between different aspects of engineering, management, human aspects of the job of engineers and engineering managers.
