Hey there, I’m Edward

I’m an experienced leader with over 13 years of expertise in the software development industry, spanning diverse sectors from FinTech to Security. My professional journey includes dynamic roles where I’ve led and inspired teams of engineers, driving significant growth for industry giants like IBM and innovative startups such as Greenlight Financial Technology, where I was instrumental in transforming the company from Series A to a unicorn in Atlanta, GA.

My expertise lies in developing D2C and B2B products, where I’ve harnessed my skills in transformative leadership, release management, technical development, and quality assurance to achieve remarkable results. At Greenlight, I led the development of scalable system architectures, comprehensive REST APIs, and innovative features that supported over 9 million active users. My tenure at IBM saw me engineer high-visibility accounts valued at over $50M, develop full-stack MEVN applications, and create robust security solutions.

Leadership is at the core of my approach. I’ve mentored over 25 developers, significantly reducing onboarding time and increasing developer velocity. My commitment to nurturing the growth of individuals within their careers is unwavering, and I take pride in fostering a collaborative and empowering environment. I excel in cross-functional collaboration, ensuring seamless project delivery by working closely with product managers, designers, and quality assurance professionals.

Today, my goal is to channel my experience and passion for leadership into fostering the next generation of leaders in engineering and other STEM fields. I’m on an adventure to push boundaries, inspire innovation, and empower professionals to reach their full potential. I believe in creating environments where innovation thrives, and solutions are not just effective but also cost-efficient and forward-thinking.
