## Headline

Engineering Manager \| Scalable Distributed Systems \| Java, Kafka, Node\.js, AWS \| Building High\-Ownership Engineering Teams

## About

I’m a Technical Engineering Manager with 12 years of hands\-on experience building scalable backend systems — and a strong belief that great engineering is as much about people and decisions as it is about code\. My career spans Telemetry, Telecom, and Manufacturing, where I’ve worked deeply with Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, Node\.js, AWS, and distributed system design\. At Azuga Telematics, I currently lead a 12\-member team, modernizing platforms, migrating workloads to AWS, and delivering business\-critical projects that drive real revenue and customer growth\. In the last year, I’ve: Delivered high\-risk, revenue\-critical projects, securing $30K/month contracts Scaled customer onboarding 3× in 6 months Reduced order processing from 1 week to 24 hours Improved team productivity by 25% while reducing attrition What defines my leadership style is design\-led thinking and ownership\-driven culture\. I mentor engineers to think in systems, challenge assumptions, and align technical decisions with business outcomes\. I work closely with Product, Billing, and Customer Success to ensure engineering doesn’t just ship — it moves the needle\.
