I am a high performance engineer and you can consider me as a swiss-army-knife for any aspect of software systems:

• As a CTO - I can take your company from idea to MVP to stable product to scalable architecture that supports your revenue generating business.

• As a technical lead - I can take the lead of an existing team or lead the creation of a new one from scratch, including onsite and offshore workers, while acting as a link between the product and engineering workforces to ensure business objectives are met.

• As a Software Architect - I can provide 360 solutions to your company needs, avoiding risks and problems that will cost your company a lot of time and money otherwise.

Genuine interest in all the layers that compose any given system, from hardware to UX and business domain aspects.

Mix of experience + passion makes me own my duties and ensures outstanding performance in the teams and systems I design / supervise.
