What I'm looking for

I like to focus on writing code while helping other developers succeed. I also value direct customer interaction to understand their needs and translate them into actionable product plans. I’m now looking for a leadership role in a company that’s doing good. During past years I’ve learned that my main driver is to be a part of a meaningful and impactful journey.

I am an experienced IT professional with a strong entrepreneurial mindset, dedicated to understanding business needs and sharing knowledge to create demanding technical solutions. My belief in open and proactive communication, along with a willingness to help others, has been pivotal in my career. I have a proven track record of developing innovative solutions and leading teams that drive success.

For the past years I've been focusing on how AI can be used to create new business opportunities. My best knowledge is in creating scalable web platforms and services using Google Cloud. I enjoy designing and building backend-heavy SaaS solutions using tools and services like Firebase and Vertex AI, Next.js, Tailwind and Flutter. While I like to approach building solutions by starting from the data model, I also enjoy designing and building beautiful user interfaces.
