This year taught me a lot about ownership, from keeping client delivery running through a demanding period to mentoring engineers and growing our team in Kosovo.
Thank you to the people who saw more in me than I sometimes saw in myself. I’m excited to pay that forward.

ENGINEER
Full-Stack EngineeringPython & Django on the backend, React & React Native on the front, Node.js and REST APIs in between. I care about clean architecture, reusable components, and code the next person can actually read.
Cloud & SecurityAzure AD, OAuth 2.0, MSAL and SSO for enterprise identity; AWS S3, Secrets Manager, Elastic Beanstalk, Lambda and Cognito for the things that run in the cloud.
Data PlatformsSQL across PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server and BigQuery, plus Databricks Unity Catalog and metadata-driven workflows — the governed foundation under every data product.
LEAD
Engineering LeadershipLeading a 16-person team day to day — sprint delivery, performance reviews, career growth, resource planning, and holding the hiring bar. I optimize for engineers who can own a problem end to end.
Delivery & AgileAgile/Scrum with Jira, requirements gathering, UI/UX documentation and stakeholder management — turning fuzzy asks into a plan a team can actually ship against.
Mentoring & HiringTechnical interviews and evaluation frameworks, structured onboarding, and the slower work of helping engineers grow into their next role.

“The best technical decision is the one the whole team understands.”Engineer first.
Engineer first.
Lead by example.
I got into leadership the way most good leads do — by being the person the team kept turning to. Today I lead a 16-person engineering team as Senior Tech Lead at Genpact in Prishtina, splitting my days between architecture, code reviews, hiring, and making sure good work actually ships.
I’m hands-on by default — Python and Django on the backend, React and React Native on the front, SQL and Databricks underneath. I like clean architecture, reusable components, and authentication that doesn’t keep anyone up at night.
