• Influence without direct authority — contributing to the engineering culture, mentoring senior engineers, and enhancing organizational standards.

• Resolve team obstacles by diagnosing issues across full-stack boundaries (from Blazor to API to Postgres and data pipelines).

• Guide senior engineers and foster an elevated engineering culture through clarity, documentation, and exemplary practices.

• Collaborate closely with product, design, CTO, data, and AI/ML teams to influence the roadmap and assess feasibility.

• Demonstrated capability to design, scale, and evolve enterprise-level systems and distributed architectures.

• History of technical leadership, mentoring, and influencing across teams.

• Capacity to work independently, establish direction, and drive execution in uncertain situations.
