Available to hire
I am a hands-on engineering leader who bridges the gap between product, code, design, and leadership.
Over the past 17+ years, I delivered 100+ projects across multiple industries, from lean MVPs to enterprise platforms. I grew from execution into leadership and entrepreneurship, collaborating closely with product, design, and business stakeholders. As a 2x founder, I learned to optimize for business value, helping grow profitable companies, leading projects that generated €3.5M in annual revenue, and closing client contracts exceeding €250k.
