About Me

I lead engineering teams by combining deep technical roots with a strategic, business-first mindset. My career has been defined by a simple philosophy: technology should be a force multiplier for the business, not a bottleneck.

With over a decade of experience involved in every single part of the software development lifecycle, I've been deeply involved in every aspect of building and delivering software—from initial design and development to scaling systems that serve millions. I thrive in environments where I can mentor engineers through complex architectural shifts while ensuring technical decisions align with business objectives.

I don't just lead software engineering teams; I work to empower them. By adhering to rigorous engineering standards, implementing automation where it makes sense, and leveraging AI-first tooling, I ensure that my teams are not just shipping features, but building a foundation for long-term growth. I'm currently exploring how AI is fundamentally transforming engineering work—augmenting human creativity, automating repetitive tasks, and enabling teams to focus on solving complex problems rather than doing repetitive, tedious work.

Stack

This site is a fork of AstroPico by san-ghun, with some minor modifications, it consists of:

  • Astro - My current go-to framework that optimizes for minimal JavaScript by default, delivering lightning-fast load times
  • Pico - A minimal, semantic CSS framework that provides styling with a focus on my semantic markup sensibilities, I'm very much a fan of good old fashioned HTML and CSS

How is this site built?

When choosing a stack for this site, I had just a few goals:

  • Fast load times
  • Minimal JavaScript
  • Simple to maintain

Some of the reasons why I chose this stack:

  • 🔧 Use the right tool for the job (Astro is built for content based sites like this one)
  • 🚀 Prioritize user experience (Astro optimizes for speed and performance)
  • ⏰ Save time when you can (I'm already a fan of Pico and Astro and there was already a theme out there, why re-invent the wheel?)
  • 🌟 Enjoy the process of building and making something
