As an Engineering Manager, my main goal was to help my reports with their professional growth and career advancement while making sure I eliminated any distractions that would prevent them from performing their best.

Engineering Manager

As a Squad Leader, I guided my team in finding the best technical solution to achieve our OKRs. At the same time, I communicated with the Product Owner, management, and other Squad Leaders to make sure everyone was aligned.

During this period, I also started interviewing candidates for various technical positions.

Squad Leader

I joined TravelPerk when there were only 15 employees and left when there were almost 500. During my time at TravelPerk, my role changed and grew with the company.

I was able to set up and coordinate the whole frontend infrastructure, making it ready to scale to serve hundreds of users per day.

I documented the best practices and shared them with the rest of the team even by organizing internal workshops and overseeing the onboarding of new team members.

An area where I was able to have a significant impact was the automated tests. I wrote several custom ESLint rules that helped keep the code up to our standards. I became a core contributor to React-Testing-Library and wrote a companion tool that now has more than one million weekly downloads.

Senior Fullstack Developer and Frontend Team Coordinator

As Technical Advisor, I help the team at Trizero to choose new technologies (e.g., languages, frameworks) and adopt them. I also provide consulting for planning particularly complicated architectures.

Technical Advisor

I implemented a SPA written in AngularJS that gives fund investors updated information about their funds. I also created the JSON APIs needed to interact with the backend.

Fullstack Developer

During my first three months at Fundbase I helped build an administration interface used to manage a database of more than 10.000 hedge funds.

I learned many agile methodologies such as Scrum and TDD while working in a distributed and international environment.

Ruby on Rails Developer

This role helped me a lot at the beginning of my career. I was asked to research and experiment with new technologies and apply them to live websites. As a result, I got the opportunity to learn various languages and platforms.

I also had to share new discoveries with my colleagues, via presentations or by writing tutorials. This increased my communication skills and made me realize how much I like to help other developers.

Research & Development

My role consisted of writing PHP scripts or creating small jQuery plugins and integrating them with existing applications.

I also wrote a Python command-line utility to enhance the capabilities of an XML based eBook reader.
