HOW I LEAD
Predictable delivery, teams people trust and engineers who grow.
My leadership rests on psychological safety, trust and autonomy: clear goals, room to own the work, and a high bar for what ships.
What drives me: integrity and work ethic, at work and outside it. I do endurance sports and volunteer, and I make sure the team's time goes where it has the most impact.
AI in how we build
AI across the work, judged by delivery.
Days → hours
integration tests, with Claude and Copilot
Weeks → hours
research for product teams
AI is part of how my teams work, from tests to research. We judge it by delivery: lead time, cycle time and what escapes to production. The tools change every few months. The rules don't: clear specs, small changes, and a named owner for everything people depend on.
Delivery
Predictable delivery, with clear visibility for stakeholders.
3–4 months → many times a day
release frequency after I took over R&D
I own delivery end to end, for customer-facing products and internal platforms. With product, tech and design I set priorities and the planning rhythm, and stakeholders get a clear view of progress.
When I took over R&D at Eficode, releases went out once every three to four months. The change was in how we decided something was ready: smaller releases, no polishing everything, and real use deciding what to build next. Eficode Journey proved it first. We got there quickly, and that was how R&D worked for years. CI/CD and teams owning what they run kept the pace sustainable.
Delivery dashboards and product metrics set priorities and show where we are stuck. I build the roadmap with product, and I push back when a commitment is not realistic.
Cross-functional leadership
Engineering, product and the business pulling in the same direction.
I keep dependencies visible and decisions moving across engineering, product, operations and the business, including systems that support financial reporting. On company-wide initiatives I turn strategy into a plan, track it, and make sure agreed actions get done.
People and growth
Teams people trust, and engineers who grow.

the team’s trust in me, Workleap
9.8/10
relationship with me as manager, Workleap
I build psychological safety in the team, and the team's eNPS of +85 on Workleap shows it.
I grow people through regular 1:1s, coaching and personal development plans. One of the engineers promoted to senior grew into technical leadership on the team.
I own planning, hiring, onboarding, budget and resourcing for teams of three to twelve, while meeting delivery commitments.
3 promotions
one junior to mid-level, two mid-level to senior
Mentoring beyond my team
A team lead I mentored for six months was later promoted.
A newly appointed team lead outside my team asked for help. We met weekly, and every session had a plan and a practical assignment tied to their work, such as managing stress and change or giving constructive feedback.
Team practices on each product
Clear ownership, so no single person was a bottleneck.
Eficode Data Platform
We stabilized and documented the platform before the handover. Six engineers from the receiving team joined, and I kept managing it.
Eficode Connectors
Each app had a main engineer and a backup. Templates let each engineer take a new app from feasibility to data extraction.
Eficode Journey
The team grew with the product, from a reporting prototype to a full portal, and owned its infrastructure too.
Technical judgment
Pragmatic technical decisions, with reliability and security in focus.
I stay close enough to the technology to review system design with the team and decide when technical debt gets paid down.
I come from hands-on frontend and full-stack engineering, and before management I built the design system our products shared. On the data platform I set the direction for a paved road my team built: Terraform templates for new integrations and one CI/CD flow with quality and security checks built in.
