Engineer-turned product builder shipping end-to-end digital products and autonomous AI agents with a customer-first mindset.
What I'm looking for
I’m an engineer-turned product builder with an MSc in Electronic Engineering and 5+ years across technology operations, analytics, and product development at IBM, Zurich, Brighton (UK), and WTW. I architect and ship digital products end-to-end, from early legal-tech foundations (e.g., UK Right to Work/EU Citizenship SaaS and CRM web apps) to autonomous AI agents that run unattended in production.
I blend technical fluency with a customer-first mindset shaped by frontline roles in aviation and hospitality. That combination helps me design for real user experience while staying rigorous on reliability, escalation paths, and operational readiness.
My work spans full-stack delivery and AI integration: I’ve built Chrome Extension + web app CRMs (capturing jobs from sources like LinkedIn/Greenhouse/Lever/Ashby), autonomous workflow-driven research and auto-publishing blog content, and legal-tech that generates parking-fine appeal letters in under two minutes. I also create learning and automation experiences—like an AI language tutor with structured automated assessment and a Mandarin platform with offline-first progress tracking.
Before and alongside product building, I’ve strengthened my execution through cloud-incident ownership, translating incident data into actionable insights and reducing repeat issues through improved documentation and escalation processes. I’ve also supported decision-making with dashboards from HR performance and compensation analytics, and I bring that same clarity to product metrics and continuous improvement.
