HUGO DEL-NEGRO
@hugodel-negro
Product Manager & UX strategist who builds scalable, human-centered AI-enabled products.
What I'm looking for
Ich bin Product Manager und UX-Stratege mit einem M.Sc. in Elektro- und Informationstechnik und einer einzigartigen Mischung aus Ingenieurspräzision und Designintution. Ich architektiere Erlebnisse, die technisch skalieren und Nutzer emotional binden, und habe Full-Stack- und KI-gestützte Produkte von Vision bis Implementierung geführt.
In meinen Rollen habe ich Product Ownership für B2B-SaaS- und Web-Frontend-Produkte übernommen, Prototyping mit Vibe Coding und LLMs vorangetrieben und datengetriebene UX-Strategien mit BigQuery, GA4 und A/B-Testing implementiert. Ich habe moderne Tech-Stacks (Next.js, React, Node.js, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, Redis) eingesetzt und Performance, Wartbarkeit sowie Automatisierung mit LLMs verbessert.
Als Gründer und Entwickler trage ich End-to-End-Verantwortung — von Roadmapping und Monetarisierung bis technischer SEO und IP-Management — und kombiniere praktische Engineering-Erfahrung (Netzwerk/Security bei Cisco/AT&T) mit Produkt- und Designführung, um nutzerzentrierte, wirkungsvolle Lösungen zu liefern.
