Engineering Manager (Hands-on)
Technology, People & Delivery Leader · React · React Native · Node.js
Professional Summary
Hands-on Engineering Manager with 5.5+ years across software engineering and engineering leadership, currently leading and managing teams of 55+ engineers across multiple concurrent projects. I own delivery end-to-end — from requirement gathering, architecture and resource planning through to production deployment — while staying hands-on to unblock teams when it counts. I partner directly with the CEO and senior leadership on hiring, compensation, promotions and organizational planning, and have conducted 100+ technical interviews. Alongside performance reviews, mentoring and career development, I define architecture, technology direction and engineering best practices. My technical foundation is strongest in frontend and product engineering with React and React Native, and extends across Next.js, Node.js, Django and Spring Boot; I also champion AI-assisted software development to accelerate delivery and quality. I manage client communication, stakeholder alignment and project planning, and consistently resolve delivery risks, technical challenges and cross-team dependencies. Strategic when planning, decisive when executing and technical when needed, I build teams that perform and products that deliver measurable business impact.
