About
Engineering Manager at Qualys with 12 years of experience leading platform engineering initiatives across cybersecurity, distributed systems, and backend infrastructure. I enjoy building high-performing engineering teams while remaining deeply involved in architecture, system design, and solving complex technical challenges. My experience spans engineering leadership, platform architecture, API security, microservices, event-driven systems, and scalable backend services. At Qualys, I lead engineering execution for strategic platform initiatives, partner with Product, Architecture, and Security teams, and help grow engineering capability through hiring, mentoring, and establishing strong engineering practices. I believe the best engineering organizations combine technical excellence with clear execution, reusable platforms, and continuous learning. I'm particularly interested in Platform Engineering, Security Platforms, Distributed Systems, Engineering Leadership, and building developer experiences that enable teams to move faster without compromising reliability or security. Always happy to connect with engineers and leaders to discuss architecture, scalable systems, platform engineering, and engineering leadership.
