mannibasi/README.md

Hi, I'm Manni πŸ‘‹

I am a Software Engineering Leader with 20 years of experience building and modernizing high-scale FinTech platforms. I balance a strong hands-on technical foundation with the ability to lead empowered, high-performing teams.

I am equally at home defining engineering strategy as I am architecting solutions or diving into the code. I am currently looking for my next challenge as a Principal/Lead Engineer or Engineering Manager.


πŸ’» Technical Expertise

I maintain an active, polyglot technical skillset focused on automation, security, and scalability.

  • Languages: Java, C#, Go, Python, TypeScript, SQL, Bash.
  • Cloud & DevOps: AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Ansible.
  • Architecture: Microservices, Event Sourcing, CQRS, REST, Monolith.
  • Engineering Craft: TDD/BDD, Trunk-Based Development, CI/CD, and DORA/SPACE/DX metrics.

🀝 Community & Mentorship

I am passionate about continuous learning and fostering a healthy engineering culture.

  • Learning: Run "Code Gym" sessions and technical book clubs to sharpen engineering techniques.
  • Mentoring: Dedicated mentor for students at the School of Code and Aston University.
  • Leadership: Board representative for the Computer Science Industry Club.

πŸ›οΈ Strategic Leadership

I bridge the gap between technical execution and business strategy, ensuring engineering efforts drive commercial value.

Engineering Culture & Delivery

  • Continuous Excellence: Embedded a culture of continuous improvement and delivery, focusing on long-term platform health.
  • Data-Driven Growth: Improved software delivery and DX metrics through technical coaching, automation, and data-led feedback loops.
  • Standards & Infrastructure: Established core engineering standards and delivered secure, scalable infrastructure.

Strategic Impact & Business Alignment

  • Cloud & DevSecOps: Owned and executed large-scale AWS migrations and DevSecOps adoption to enhance system resilience.
  • FinOps & Efficiency: Led initiatives in resource optimization and license renegotiation, reducing TCO by 10%.
  • Commercial Outcomes: Aligned engineering delivery with business objectives to ensure measurable client and commercial success.

Organisational Design & People

  • Structural Evolution: Redesigned engineering structures to decouple line management from technical leadership, creating clearer career pathways.
  • Scaling Talent: Scaled high-performing teams by establishing an Engineering Management Community and empowering Senior Engineers.
  • Empathetic Leadership: Led through organizational change and redundancy processes with transparency, empathy, and integrity.
