Engineering ManagerAI-Ready Systems Architect

Building AI-native engineering that scales responsibly 🏗️

I am an Engineering Manager specializing in distributed fintech systems, cross-functional team leadership, and AI-assisted engineering enablement. Currently preparing and enabling AI-ready engineering foundations within a regulated fintech environment.

My focus lies at the intersection of system reliability, organizational stability, AI workflow orchestration, and production-grade engineering standards — designing systems, workflows, and governance structures that prepare engineering teams for scalable and responsible AI adoption.

My vision is to build AI-native engineering organizations that scale responsibly — balancing innovation, reliability, and structured governance — transforming distributed financial systems into adaptive, intelligent platforms.

Engineering Leadership & Systems Architecture

Building AI-ready engineering foundations at scale

psychology

Engineering Leadership

  • •Managed 2 cross-functional sub-teams (10 engineers total) covering Backend, Frontend, Mobile, and QA.
  • •Ensured domain ownership clarity across multiple fintech modules during VP/Director-level reorganization.
  • •Balanced sprint allocation: 60% feature delivery / 40% technical investment model.
  • •Structured knowledge transfer processes to prevent domain silos and ownership fragmentation.
  • •Cross-functional stakeholder alignment with structured design review culture.

Strength: Multi-team governance with delivery stability through organizational change.
