Founder and entrepreneur | CxO | Elixir | GPM | business development and solutions architecture

I design and deliver digital solutions that create impact. With over a decade of experience in software development, product management, innovation projects, and entrepreneurship, I specialize in turning complex requirements into user-centric applications — from data platforms to XR experiences.

My strength lies in bridging strategy, technology, and design: I combine a strong technical foundation with a keen sense for usability and business objectives, enabling interdisciplinary teams to build scalable, efficient, and future-ready products. I thrive at the intersection of innovation and execution.
