Résumé

Senior AI-Driven Development Engineering Lead · MiFi IT Sourcing

Jan 2026 – Present · Remote

• Lead a team of six engineers as a hands-on technical lead, delivering custom client software, internal products, IT-sourcing tooling, and the team’s own AI-driven development platform.
• Embed AI coding agents directly into how the team designs, writes, reviews, and ships software — moving AI from autocomplete to a core part of the delivery workflow.
• Build agentic, multi-agent pipelines that automate larger stretches of the build, taking work from spec and requirements through to AI-generated, human-reviewed implementation.
• Stand up AI-assisted code review and test generation as standard quality gates, raising code quality while shortening the path to production.
• Drive real leverage — faster delivery, fewer defects, and more output per engineer — while upskilling the whole team on AI-driven development practices.
• Stay hands-on across the stack: AI agents and LLMs (Claude, Copilot, GPT, agent frameworks), Kotlin/Java/Spring services, cloud and CI/CD, and JS/TS where the product needs it.
