I thrive in collaborative environments, contributing to both the technical design and development processes, while ensuring alignment with business goals. I also have extensive experience in process automation, AI-powered solutions, and cloud-based platforms, such as my work on AI Enterprise and MagentaCloud. In these roles, I created solution designs, coordinated with partners, and integrated APIs to streamline operations. A major aspect of my role includes mentoring developers and guiding teams in agile environments to ensure successful project delivery. With a strong background in software development, architecture, and leadership, I am committed to creating robust and scalable solutions while fostering team growth and innovation.

Best back-end engineers I've ever worked with...​

“I interviewed about a dozen different firms. DevsData LLC is truly exceptional – their backend developers are some of the best I’ve ever worked with. I’ve worked with a lot of very well-qualified developers, locally in San Francisco, and remotely, so that is not a compliment I offer lightly. I appreciate their depth of knowledge and their ability to get things done quickly. “
