Head of Engineering
Focusing on Team Growth, Strategic Engineering, and Organizational Success
ConnectI am an accomplished Head of Engineering with over three decades of experience driving technological innovation and leading high-performing teams globally.
My career spans from pioneering web development in the late 90s to leading complex software, hardware, and firmware initiatives. I bring deep technical expertise in .NET, Python, JS, React, modern web technologies, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), and system architecture, combined with a passion for mentoring talent and building diverse, inclusive engineering cultures.
Starting June 2025, I am leading the Wiser Home team at Schneider Electric, focusing on the future of connected homes.
Throughout my career, I have collaborated with teams and companies across nearly every continent — working with engineers, designers, and product leaders from Europe, Asia, North America, Australia, and beyond. This global exposure has shaped my leadership style, strengthened my cultural awareness, and enabled me to build high-performing distributed teams that operate with clarity, trust, and shared ownership.
Identifying unique growth paths for each engineer. Fostering mentor-mentee relationships to accelerate learning and build stronger, more autonomous teams.
Evaluating and evolving engineering practices to enhance team effectiveness, quality, and predictability while reducing friction and waste.
Guiding teams in building robust, scalable, and maintainable system architectures that support long-term product evolution.
Embedding AI tools into daily workflows to boost efficiency, reduce repetitive work, and enable engineers to focus on high-value tasks.
Ensuring engineering capabilities and constraints are central to product definition, roadmap planning, and strategic decision-making from the outset.
Defining technical direction and long-term architecture strategies that align with business goals and support sustainable growth.
Organizations thrive when their people thrive. My primary goal is to create an environment where engineers feel empowered, valued, and challenged.
I believe in recognizing that every individual is unique, bringing different strengths and perspectives. By tailoring my approach to each person, I help them become the best version of themselves within the team context.
By fostering a culture of ownership, continuous learning, and open communication, we build not just great products, but resilient, high-performing teams. Leading teams of up to 100 people reinforces the need for scalable people-centric practices and robust processes.
Ultimately, investing in people and processes directly translates into better products and stronger organizational outcomes.
