From full-stack architect to global CTO, my journey has been defined by one mission — to turn deep tech into
real business value. I've led transformations that reshaped industries, launched AI-native platforms, and
scaled engineering organizations that deliver with resilience, speed, and strategic clarity. Each role
reflects a step forward in building not just technology, but impact at scale.
Working across diverse industries has sharpened my adaptability and strategy instincts — enabling me to
cross-pollinate innovation, de-risk faster, and lead with a playbook built for scale, not silos.
