IExecFebruary 2024 - April 2025Oversee product and project portfolio strategy for DeepTech/confidential computing; act as lead architect, driving C-level prioritization and Agile execution for 50+ engineers. Achieving a 60 % reduction of technical debt in three months and compressing the delivery cycle from three iterations to one, I implemented Lean/Agile methods (Alpha/Beta/Early Adopter loop) and data-driven prioritization. Successfully delivered on a 2-year-old tech debt initiative, reducing the backlog by 60% in three months, dramatically improving system stability. I also established a decentralized architecture for secure payments and confidential AI computation, introduced flow-efficiency metrics, and connected engineering roadmaps to 70 % of company OKRs.
VP of SaaS & Platform Engineering
SemarchyApril 2023 - January 2024I led the company’s global SaaS transformation, defining platform architecture, commercial model, and IAM framework while securing C-level alignment across three regions.
Achieving launch of the first SaaS product in six months and design of modular architecture and pricing in four months, I enabled investor readiness and cross-team collaboration through Terraform-based IaC and DataDog observability. The initiative unified previously independent teams and reduced operational silos by over 50 %.
Co-Founder & CTO
Eniblock (former Blockchain Xdev)February 2019 - February 2023I co-founded and scaled a 50 + engineer organization specialized in Web3 and blockchain platforms, ensuring PSAN and SOC2 compliance.
