Learn About Me

Professional Overview

I am a Senior Solutions Architect, Lead Composable Commerce Architect, and Full-Stack Engineer with 8+ years of experience building high-performance, enterprise digital platforms. My technical foundation bridges complex enterprise engines like SAP Commerce Cloud with decoupled, modern storefronts powered by Next.js (SSR/ISR), React 19, and TypeScript.

Whether leading technical workshops with stakeholders, scaling real-time event-driven backends, or stepping into roles as Start-up CTO, Founding Engineer, or DevOps Engineer, I focus on building scalable, decoupled systems that optimize speed, resilience, and developer velocity.
