Benjamin Zawodni

I'm a passionate, data-driven engineering leader focused on building world-class engineering teams. As a Software Engineering Manager at Stellantis, I drive talent density and high performance—delivering modular, extensible, and scalable solutions across a globally distributed organization.

I champion enterprise AI adoption and agentic developer tooling, and orchestrate end-to-end delivery with Python, Node.js, React, and Docker—leveraging DORA metrics to continuously optimize deployment frequency, lead time, and system reliability.

About me

Insatiable curiosity and a passion for learning have shaped my path from avionics and embedded systems into platform software and engineering leadership. I care as much about how a team works as what it ships—clear ownership, honest feedback, and an environment people don't want to leave. Outside of work you'll find me with family, on the golf course, or chasing the next technical rabbit hole.
