I'm an engineering leader and ex-CTO who transforms these challenges into competitive advantages. My approach is honed not just in corporate settings, but in the world's most competitive arenas - with over 15 international hackathon wins, I've proven my ability to build innovative, high-impact solutions under pressure Here's a snapshot of the value I've delivered, which is the foundation for my profile title: 🚀 2x USER ENGAGEMENT & AUTOMATED SALES I built an autonomous AI phone agent for lead qualification and webinar reminders. This doubled the show-up rate from 31% to 62% and freed up one full-time Sales Development Rep. ⚡ 10x FASTER FEATURE RELEASES I led a full re-architecture of a critical UI-kit and CI/CD pipeline. This crushed the release cycle from days/weeks down to mere minutes, unblocking the entire team. 📈 +8pp CONVERSION & FASTER ROI I engineered an automated AI scoring system for post-call analysis. This single feature improved sales conversion consistency by 8 percentage points and unlocked a 3-month payback on customer acquisition costs. 🤝 MORE EFFICIENT & SCALABLE TEAM By restructuring a complex codebase, I reduced PR merge conflicts by 30% and cut new-hire ramp-up time by 25% (from 4 days to 3). ------------------------------------------------------------ MY CORE COMPETENCIES - Technical Leadership: Hands-on CTO, Solution Architecture, Product-Centred Development - AI & Automation: LLM-Powered Agents, Business Process Automation - Full-Stack: Next.js, React, Node.js, TypeScript, Serverless (AWS Lambda) - DevOps & Cloud: AWS, Hetzner, CI/CD Pipelines, Docker, Performance Optimization, Coolify ------------------------------------------------------------ Whether you need to rescue a stalled project, build a game-changing AI feature, or scale your engineering practices for rapid growth, I have the proven experience to make it happen.
