I’m a Principal Cloud Engineer who has built a career at the intersection of engineering, customer experience, and inclusive leadership.

Continuous learning, a proactive mindset, and a highly analytical approach are among my first principles, which I leverage in my current work at Microsoft. I am highly adaptable, having specialized in working across multiple industries with a wide range of Fortune 500 customers. Through my work as a generalist engineer, I’ve acquired a proven track record of building and managing systems, operations, and teams that create global impact at scale for millions of users.

Beyond my corporate role, I helped build one of the largest tech events in CEE, where I connected global founders with domestic communities and mastered startup fundamentals from ideation to seed funding. This entrepreneurial exposure has helped me cultivate the intrapreneurship spirit, which I still leverage to this day.

I blend my passion for technology with complementary areas such as teaching at universities, macroeconomics and financial markets, history, and international politics. To advance my learning, I’ve pursued further business and leadership education through programs at Oxford and INSEAD.

Committed to paying it forward, I believe in the saying that “a rising tide lifts all boats.” Through contextualized mentoring, I try to help with conversations around the following subject areas – always tailored to others' specific needs and circumstances:

• Learning from and recovering after failure

• Building effective networks for sponsorship and allyship

• Growing from individual contributor to technical leader

• Communication strategies from coffee talk to C-level
