CTO / Head of Engineering
Stabilize the platform. Make delivery predictable. Scale the team.
I step in when growth exposes the cracks: incidents rise, ownership blurs, and delivery slows. I stabilize operations, make delivery predictable, and align the team on a clear technical direction-without adding bureaucracy.
Best fit: B2B SaaS scaleups where growth is increasing incidents, slowing delivery, and blurring ownership.

CTO / Engineering Leader • Platform & Reliability
Stability and performance as usage scales.
Clear ownership, hiring, onboarding, and accountability.
Cadence, metrics, and prioritization aligned with outcomes.
Case Studies
Selected engagements in modernization, reliability, and platform scale.
Operating Model Turnaround: From Chaos to Predictable Delivery
A pragmatic playbook to stabilize delivery, clarify ownership, and build a sustainable cadence.
Role: Engineering Lead / Head of Engineering • Scope: operating model, delivery systems, reliability practices
Chaos → predictable delivery
Microservices Modernization: From Monolith to Observable Platform
Shortened release cycles and reduced incident impact through microservices migration and SLO-driven reliability
Role: System Architect • Scope: platform modernization + observability + reliability
Release cycle days → hours + SLO-driven ops
Scaling Travel Platform: High-Performance Static Generation at Scale
Improved page load performance and SEO footprint while scaling to 10k+ destination pages
Role: Lead Engineer • Scope: performance, SEO, large-scale static generation
10k+ pages + improved Core Web Vitals
How I Lead Engineering
I build engineering systems that scale: ownership, reliability, and delivery cadence-so leadership can plan, product can commit, and customers feel stability.
Non-negotiables: ownership over activity, metrics over opinions, calm operations over heroics.
Systems
Architecture ownership
Define target architecture and decision-making (ADRs) so teams move fast without rework.
Reliability as a function
Implement SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, and incident response to cut critical incidents and improve resilience.
Delivery system
Standardize CI/CD and infrastructure to make releases predictable, repeatable, and fast.
People & Alignment
Team scaling
Hire, onboard, and mentor engineers; create clear roles, ownership, and growth paths.
Cross-functional alignment
Align engineering, product, and stakeholders on priorities, trade-offs, and execution cadence.
Tech focus
I use technology to produce outcomes: predictable releases, stable operations, and faster iteration.
