About Me

Based in San Francisco, I am a high-impact IT Manager, Enterprise Solutions Architect, and Full-Stack Developer with over a decade of cross-functional global experience. Blending an advanced MBA with deep technical expertise in Emerging Tech, Automation, and Agentic AI workflows, I specialize in bridging the gap between complex software engineering and executive business strategy. Whether leading multi-disciplinary teams within a structured PMO or developing full-stack applications, I focus on driving operational efficiency, robust systems security, and measurable ROI.

What I Do

Management as well as designing professional applications & websites

Technical Leadership & PMO Governance

I am an adaptive leader who believes in driving performance by example. Utilizing Agile, Scrum, and ITIL frameworks, I align cross-functional teams to deliver complex technical projects strictly on time, within scope, and under budget. From managing substantial university budget allocations to optimizing corporate capital, I turn strategic business goals into streamlined operational realities.

WEB DEVELOPMENT | UI/UX DESIGN​

I engineer scalable, high-performance web applications and headless CMS platforms from the ground up. Combining robust backend development (Python, TypeScript, REST APIs) with modern frontend frameworks, I build data-driven web solutions integrated with automated pipelines and custom analytics dashboards to maximize business intelligence.

APP DEVELOPMENT​

I design and deploy secure, user-centric mobile and desktop applications utilizing modern OOP structures, custom SDK integrations, and interactive real-time engines (Unity/Unreal). Staying ahead of the digital curve, I specialize in embedding next-generation features into applications, including Large Language Models (LLMs), Agentic AI workflows, and Conversational Agents, to deliver an intuitive, future-proof user experience.
