Joined at an early stage to professionalize the engineering function and lay the foundation for sustainable growth. Took on multiple roles ? engineering management, product development, product ownership, and DevOps ? building both the team and the products from the ground up.

• Grew the engineering team from 3 to 12 developers and reduced turnover to zero through a strong focus on employee satisfaction and culture.
• Designed and rolled out a sustainable SDLC that balances speed, quality, and team well-being.
• Owned new products and features end-to-end ? from idea to production ? in close collaboration with stakeholders.
• As part of the leadership team, helped shape the company culture.
• Drove AI adoption as the internal AI advocate and organized internal AI hackathons to spread knowledge and accelerate experimentation.
• Scaled and stabilized the infrastructure and drove improvements in observability and system transparency.
• Acted as a true all-rounder: leading team ceremonies and 1:1s, contributing as a developer, owning product decisions, and being on call when needed.

Led teaching for two remotely delivered full-stack web development bootcamps, each with a cohort of 12 participants, across intensive 3-month programs.

• Delivered technical content and career coaching across both bootcamps, with over 90% of graduates finding employment afterward.
• Improved collaboration between coaches by building workflows for knowledge sharing and alignment across cohorts.
• Contributed to the website infrastructure and helped implement support for multilingual translations.

Joined as employee #7 and grew with the company to over 130 people across multiple continents. Progressed from Junior Web Developer through Senior and Tech Lead, then led the software development team over the final ~2 years ? first as Engineering Manager, then as Head of Software.

• Helped build the product from day one and contributed hands-on as a developer through every growth stage of the company.
• Took over engineering management and scaled the team into 3 squads of 7 developers each.
• Led the transition from a single large team to a multi-squad structure, improving focus and ownership.
• Helped shape the engineering culture as the company grew from a start-up into a global organization.
• Launched the first company-wide Creative Day for over 100 people ? an initiative that continued after my departure and brought the whole company together for cross-functional collaboration.
