Introduction
As an accomplished Engineering Manager with over 15 years of experience in the IT industry, I specialize in empowering development teams through agile frameworks. My extensive expertise spans JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Angular, Java/J2EE application development, SAP technologies, mobile app development, system architecture, and pre-sales. After a successful career in consultancy, I transitioned to product scale-ups in 2018 to focus on driving innovation and growth. I am currently seeking new opportunities to lead remote, autonomous development teams, leveraging my background to deliver impactful solutions.
My best practices
As an Engineering Manager, I prioritize active listening and foster a collaborative environment. I ensure that our 1:1 sessions have a shared agenda, with at least 90% of the topics driven by my team members. If we find ourselves without topics once, we skip the meeting; if it happens twice, I delve deeper to uncover potential issues.
As a Team Lead, I am dedicated to data-driven decision-making and meticulously measure everything to track and demonstrate team performance. Over the years, I have transitioned away from programming, recognizing that the engineers on my team excel in this area.
I am a strong advocate for knowledge sharing within my teams. I believe that everyone has something to teach and learn, and I encourage this exchange of knowledge to happen primarily within the workplace.

Interesting facts about me
I love music
As a child, I learned how to play my parents' records on their vinyl player. With 4 years I was tired of dancing I will survive in my parent's living house and back then is when my love for music started, Now I play bass in a band called Teniente Dan that plays mostly 70's rock and blues covers. You can check it by visiting their website.
I tried to launch my own company only after 1 year working on IT... and I failed
When I was working at my first company one old-time friend suggested me to assist him in developing an ERP for a very specific kind of company. During that time, a company wanted to hire me but I convinced them to hire my company instead (that will send me and only me to that specific project). We never managed to finish the ERP but we developed some software solutions (TPV, DMS, CMS) for small companies. We shifted to body shopping having up to 6 employees that got paid even when the founders didn't. After some years of struggling with a not regular cash flow, I decided to quit and joined one of our customers back then.
I am learning photography
I've always had cameras around me but discovering @chocotuits was a life changer. I'm in the path of finding my own view and now I'm always carrying my camera.
