About Me
I'm a technology leader specializing in AI engineering, software architecture, and digital transformation. As a Fractional CTO & AI Engineering Leader, I help organizations navigate complex technological challenges and build scalable, innovative solutions.
Most recently, I led a team of 7 engineers at Ebury as Engineering Manager, reducing customer onboarding time by 35% through modular architecture and automation. Concurrently, I worked as a Smart Contract Engineer at Mundo Wallet, transforming a crypto wallet into a fintech app for high-inflation markets and cutting blockchain infrastructure costs by 60%.
With over 15+ years of experience, I've helped VC-backed startups overcome their toughest challenge: portfolio velocity. My track record includes Delivered 3x developer productivity gains and 60-75% infrastructure cost reductions through strategic technical leadership.
I'm passionate about emerging technologies—from AI engineering and GenAI integration to blockchain and event-driven architectures. I write extensively about software architecture, guide development teams through technological transformations, and translate complex technical concepts into actionable strategies. My approach combines strategic technical leadership with hands-on execution, ensuring teams don't just build—they build right.
