Remote Software Engineering Manager | PMP | Product-Oriented Leader

With over 20 years of experience in software development and project leadership, I help tech companies build better systems, manage distributed teams, and deliver products with confidence. From architecting robust backend systems to guiding agile product teams across time zones, I bring technical depth, delivery discipline, and business alignment to every engagement. Since 2012, I’ve worked as a contractor and consultant—trusted by startups and enterprises across the U.S. and Europe. I’m PMP-certified since 2012 (still active) and deeply experienced in both agile and hybrid project delivery models. I’ve led roles as Developer, Team Lead, Scrum Master, Product Owner, Software Project Manager, CTO, and Software Engineering Manager. My mission is to translate complex business goals into sustainable engineering outcomes—on time, on budget, and with no drama. ⸻ 🔧 Core Strengths • Leadership Across the Stack: Skilled in backend, frontend, cloud, and DevOps. Capable of diving into the code or stepping up to roadmap strategy. • Remote-First Execution: 10+ years managing globally distributed teams with effective async communication, live coaching, and process hygiene. • Agile Mastery: Deep understanding of Scrum, Kanban, hybrid models, and agile coaching. I remove blockers, drive sprints, and align stakeholders. • Product Thinking: I go beyond delivery—I focus on product usability, scalability, and business impact. • Hiring & Technical Assessment: I conduct technical interviews, live coding sessions, and engineering hiring assessments for multiple clients. • Cross-Functional Fluency: Able to bridge conversations between business, design, QA, and engineering. ⸻ 🧠 Tech I Work With Daily Backend • C#, ASP.NET Core MVC, ASP.NET MVC • Autofac, Automapper, JWT, GraphQL .NET • Fluent Assertions, Moq, XUnit, NLog Frontend • Vue.js, TypeScript, JavaScript, jQuery, Bootstrap DevOps & CI/CD • AWS CodeBuild, CodeCommit, CodeDeploy, CodePipeline, CodeStar • Jenkins, Bamboo Cloud Services • Amazon S3, EC2, ECS, Lambda, RDS, DynamoDB, SES, Route 53, Elastic Beanstalk, Lightsail Databases • Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Amazon DynamoDB Documentation & Wireframes • Confluence, Google Suite, Balsamiq, Jekyll Project Management Tools • Jira, Trello, Microsoft Project, Asana Source Control • Git, GitHub, Bitbucket, Azure Repos Communication • Slack, Skype Tooling • Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code ⸻ ✅ What Clients Get • Senior-level execution from strategy to implementation • Clarity and communication every step of the way—no black boxes • Scalable software architectures built to evolve with your product • Process improvement and hands-on team mentoring • On-demand consultation for hiring, process setup, or delivery reviews ⸻ 💬 Let’s Talk If you need a technical leader who understands both the code and the context—who can align teams, drive projects forward, and deliver results in remote environments—then we’re a good match.
