Engineering Manager / Solution Architect
13+ years in engineering. I design distributed systems and lead the teams that ship them. I've built microservices, cloud platforms and products that run at scale, across EdTech, automotive e-commerce, enterprise IoT and OTT/Smart TV.

};I'm an Engineering Manager at LEAD Group (LeadSchool), where I lead the engineering behind school ERP and order-to-delivery platforms that thousands of schools depend on. Before that I was a Staff Engineer on OLX Autos at Nagarro, built cloud device management for Barco ClickShare, and led OTT and Smart TV products at Affle.
I've written production code through my whole career and still review it every week. I care about clean service boundaries, observable systems and a delivery process the team can rely on. On the people side I hire well, run sprints that actually ship, and help engineers become technical leaders.
Clear domain boundaries, contracts first, and architecture that keeps up with the business.
Monitoring, SLOs and RCAs make up the feedback loop. No guesswork.
Predictable delivery comes from process, mentoring and ownership.

High- and low-level design for microservices, event-driven systems and GraphQL/REST APIs, with database design and decisions recorded so they can be revisited.
AWS-native and containerised platforms on Docker, Kubernetes and Serverless, with CI/CD, infrastructure as code and observability in place from the first release.
Sprint planning, release roadmaps, Jira automation and reporting, one-on-ones, performance reviews and hiring, all aimed at predictable delivery.

He is a great team leader who not only leads the team but also mentors each member…
Articles I've written on engineering, cloud and AI.
Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor and similar tools speed up writing code, but debugging real systems still depends on the developer: system context, runtime observation and intuition that AI can't simulate yet.
