I started my career as a Software Developer in 2008, working mostly with Java-based frameworks to build web applications. In recent years, I've supplemented my skills in areas like systems administration, UX design, and digital marketing among others.
As a Tech Lead, I help and share what I know so that team members and other stakeholders can solve their daily challenges. I don't believe in micro-management, I prefer to make people feel trusted so they can put their unique technical and soft skills into solving our common goal. I also think whatever can be automized should be so. People should focus their time and energy efficiently, in high-quality work and not just busywork.
