Led a cross-functional engineering team delivering integration features for the Atlassian Rovo AI ecosystem, coordinating across Java, TypeScript, and Kotlin codebases within a fast-paced product environment. Owned sprint planning, backlog prioritization, and capacity management for a team working directly with US-based stakeholders, maintaining consistent on-time delivery across integration milestones. Drove a structured POC evaluation of OCR solutions (Apache Tika, Tesseract) defining assessment criteria across accuracy, integration complexity, and performance to support a critical Rovo product decision. Leveraged AI-assisted capabilities via GitHub Copilot in IntelliJ IDEA to accelerate code review, change analysis, and unit test generation across the team. Mentored junior and mid-level engineers through pair programming and structured feedback cycles, increasing team autonomy over delivery.

Software Architect / Technical Advisor

Freelance
September 2024 - December 2024

Defined architecture and supervised implementation of technological solutions (Java, JavaScript, SQL), balancing team capabilities with delivery timelines. Coached development teams on REST integration best practices, improving cross-service reliability and reducing integration defects.

Senior Software Engineer

October 2021 - September 2022

Led multiple delivery squads (8 to 15 engineers) across API development, frontend, and data integration workstreams, governing SOA-based architectures for mobile banking solutions with a focus on performance, resilience, and security. Diagnosed a multi-stakeholder delivery breakdown (client, project managers, and engineering team) and proposed a cross-functional delivery framework inspired by SAFe, reducing misalignment across workstreams and restoring client confidence within two sprints. Introduced parallel delivery streamlines across sales, security, UX, and engineering, shifting the team from sequential to concurrent delivery and increasing visible progress for executive stakeholders. Facilitated architecture and design sessions using domain-driven approaches, defining clear service boundaries and enabling teams to move from reactive execution to proactive technical ownership.

Senior Software Developer
