Expertise
I bring a unique combination of skills in product ownership, design, development, tech and consulting. Here's how I can help your business thrive.
Leading development teams, recruiting and managing talent, strategic planning, and serving as CTO for startups. I provide tech leadership to ensure successful project delivery, integrating strategic planning, product development, and innovation. I guide cross-functional teams, aligning products with strategic goals for real business value, overseeing full-stack developments, and driving sustainable growth and technological advancement.
With extensive experience in managing product lifecycles across software, enterprise solutions, and mobile/web applications, I thrive in startup settings and fast-paced environments. I guide projects from concept to completion, including idea and business plan development, and guiding developers and designers. My expertise spans the entire product lifecycle, from ideation and design to overseeing implementation, post-launch evaluation, and continuous development.
Bringing innovative solutions to complex problems and developing new products. I help organizations innovate and adapt quickly, applying design thinking principles and facilitating workshops to cultivate creativity. I drive innovation by transforming ideas into market-ready products.
My approach to design is hands-on and collaborative. I leverage prototyping, wireframing, and UX/CX design to create intuitive solutions. I believe in “show, don’t tell” – using visual communication to drive informed decisions and solve complex challenges.
With a strong foundation in web and mobile development, I create scalable, robust applications. My work is grounded in Agile methodology, and I mentor teams to foster collaborative problem-solving, aligning efforts with strategic objectives.
I bridge the gap between business and development, promoting transparency and collaboration. By ensuring clear communication across all levels, I help prevent misunderstandings and facilitate smoother decision-making, enabling successful project pivots and long-term planning.

I’ve been part of award-winning teams, including recognition at Cannes Lions, and have personally received the ICT Innovation Award for my work for HP.
Seasoned Certified Scrum Product Owner®. Practicing Agile and service design since the turn of the millennium.
In addition to working for startups, I have co-founded several ventures myself. This includes one of the largest hackathons in Europe, with €1 million in investments offered to winners, a low-code/no-code headless CMS, and a cafe-restaurant with a perfect 5.0 rating. My ideas are plentiful and free, but it's execution that truly sets them apart.
Hiking, outdoor activities, and tinkering have been essential to me since childhood. My passion for technology extends around retro computers and consoles. Beyond gaming, my digital artwork has exhibited in a museum.
