What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a product role where I can bridge design, engineering, and data to deliver measurable user and business outcomes, working in collaborative, cross-functional teams that value accessibility and data-driven decisions.

I am a communicative and curious software developer with a passion for creating accessible, high-performing digital experiences that connect user insight with strategic execution.

I have delivered front-end projects that achieved 100% Lighthouse scores across accessibility, SEO, and Core Web Vitals, automated QA and production workflows, and integrated analytics and APIs to boost engagement and retention.

My background includes product management responsibilities—roadmapping, backlog management, stakeholder engagement, and feature prioritisation—across international teams and launches, improving delivery speed and sales performance.

I am now seeking a product role where I can bridge design, engineering, and data-driven decisions to deliver meaningful, measurable outcomes.
