About Me

I'm an Engineering Manager passionate about building world-class payment systems and nurturing high-performing engineering teams.

My journey started with writing Java and Spring Boot applications, which gave me a strong foundation in building robust, scalable backend systems. Over the years, I've evolved from an individual contributor to leading engineering teams, always keeping my technical edge sharp.

Currently, I focus on the intersection of technology leadership and payment innovation, where reliability, security, and user experience are non-negotiable.
