  • Global Team Leadership

  • Manage and coordinate a diverse team across onshore, nearshore, and offshore locations, ensuring seamless collaboration and consistent delivery standards.
  • Mentor and coach engineers to deepen technical expertise, foster innovation, and deliver high‑quality solutions.

  • Architecture & Systems Design : Designs evolvable, secure, scalable services using proven patterns; anticipates future use cases to minimize change cost.
