From building MVPs to optimizing large-scale Ruby on Rails applications, I bring a unique blend of technical expertise, product focus, and leadership skills. My approach goes beyond just coding: I’m here to ensure your projects succeed both technically and strategically.
As a software engineer, my core strengths include:
-
Crafting Scalable Solutions: Experience with using tools & technologies like Packs-Rails, Sorbet, Rails engines, Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ, Redis, and more to build scalable & maintainable applications.
-
Performance and observability: Enhancing app performance with built in and other tools like Datadog, Redash, and New Relic for smooth and efficient operation.
-
Enhancing, Debugging, refactoring apps: Improving, refactoring existing systems and also upgrading legacy systems to keep your business evolving and adapting to software changes over time.
-
Project Leadership: Leading projects with a focus on collaboration, delivering meaningful results that count.

Beyond technical implementation, I intend to add value with:
- Having a product-minded approach, meaning I value
-
Ideating to improve one’s product offerings: By participating in discussions related to user journeys and personas I care about contributing to product roadmap decisions that eventually lead to more user-friendly products
-
Cross Team collaboration: As needed, I value seeking inputs directly from stakeholders and others teams to build better features, fix bugs, and deliver timely solutions that genuinely serve your customers.

- Proactive communication:
- Communicating early and often is key to the success of any project, and I’ve been told by many people communication is my strength. Whether it’s breaking down and explaining complex concepts or aligning cross-functional teams, I’m committed to keeping everyone on the same page.
- Being a multiplier in teams: Mentors
have played a key role in helping me improve and I attempt to pay it forward in a probono way here. In addition to leveraging past experiences at and outside work as coach/mentor, I intend to:
- As a coach: Ask the right questions to encourage independent thinking and thereby to enable people to be more self sufficient
- As a mentor: Offer different perspectives and be a sounding board, helping colleagues solve problems and validate ideas.
- Building a closely knit team: I’ve had wonderful opportunities of working in person with international teams from Singapore, The UK, and Germany for over 7 years, and remotely with team members across North & South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. Through these experiences, I’ve learned what makes teams strong and cohesive—and I’m eager to apply these lessons to help your team succeed.
