OPERATOR_PROFILE: SUMMARY

A software engineer and a maker at heart, with a career that has gone from hardware entrepreneurship and embedded programming to architecting high-availability microservices and leading Tier 1 engineering teams. I care deeply about clean, scalable and maintainable system design — whether I am architecting complex integrations autonomously or aligning cross-functional teams to deliver critical infrastructure.
