Engineering leader with more than 20 years of experience in software engineering, software architecture and engineering leadership.
Throughout my career, I have evolved from software developer to Domain Engineering Director, leading engineering organizations, developing leaders and building large-scale products used by millions of users.
I believe the best products emerge when Business, Product and Engineering share a common vision, and my role is to build organizations where people are empowered to deliver their best.
The role of an Engineering Leader is not only to make good technical decisions. It is to create the conditions where Business, Product and Engineering move in the same direction, where teams understand the purpose of their work, have autonomy, trust each other and continuously improve.
Technology is a means to build great products, not an end in itself.
