# About Me

I am a technology leader, architect, and software craftsman with over 20 years of experience building platforms and solutions across healthcare, life sciences, manufacturing, and e-commerce.

My expertise spans cloud-native and serverless systems, event-driven architectures, and developer experience at scale. I have a proven record of leading platform engineering and architecture teams to deliver secure, scalable systems that balance business impact with technical excellence.

Since 2004, I have been writing software professionally; since 2009, I have been leading teams and shaping technology strategy. As an architect, I can navigate the "architecture elevator" — from the engine room to the boardroom — helping engineers master their craft while guiding executives in defining business and technology direction. I also enjoy prototyping ideas quickly to validate solutions and unlock opportunities.

# Interests
