What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role in project management, digital transformation, or innovation coordination where I can contribute from day one and keep growing.

At Quidgest, I work as a Functional Consultant. Before that, at imec.istart, I delivered a digital transformation tool that was adopted into the incubator’s daily operations.

As Scrum Master at imec.istart, I owned the project management lifecycle from requirements scoping and sprint planning through stakeholder sign-off and release. I used retrospectives, risk registers, and structured change management with a multidisciplinary remote team.

At ANJE, I coordinated a business hackathon for more than 150 attendees, with a 97% participant satisfaction rate. At Junior Achievement Portugal, I delivered financial literacy sessions across 45 classes in 15 schools, achieving full session coverage.
