Engineering Lead & Architect
.jpg)
Engineering leader with a rare blend of high-stakes maritime command and accelerated tech leadership. In just 4+ years, scaled from junior developer to full technical owner of an EdTech platform: architected apps (web + iOS), built a 6-person team, and grew to 60,000 users post-launch (Oct 2024). Drove 60% cost reduction, 40% performance gains, and delivered real-time, payments, analytics end-to-end. I apply crisis management discipline from my maritime command to stabilize systems and mentor high-performing teams.
