Bio

Seasoned professional with extensive experience spanning over two decades in technology product development, managing every phase from conception through to implementation and integration, with a continuous focus on customer satisfaction and excellence.

In a previous role as Product Manager Developer, I was instrumental in advancing the development of digital products to support internal sales initiatives. This involved close collaboration with multifaceted teams in marketing and operations, ensuring alignment with overarching strategic goals.

As the Founder and former Chief Technology Officer, I orchestrated the creation of a wide array of advanced applications, targeted towards delivering state-of-the-art digital experiences.
