How I help teams

Engineering Manager

I balance product ambitions with team health, shape technical roadmaps, and create the psychological safety needed for sustainable delivery.

Experienced Developer

More than a decade of crafting web experiences, from freelancing to leading global JavaScript teams, keeps me close to the craft and detail.

No-code consultant

I design maintainable sites and internal dashboards that business stakeholders can update without touching a line of code.

Core expertise

JavaScript & Python

From data pipelines and Raspberry Pi experiments to automation bots, I rely on Python and modern JavaScript frameworks to build fast, reliable tooling.

Agile & Scrum

Certified Professional Scrum Master (PSM I) with hands-on experience guiding teams through pragmatic agile practices.

Front-end craft

I started my career on the front end, and I still design, prototype, and test interfaces that feel fast and intuitive.
