What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build security, identity, and AI products where I can apply customer-facing Azure Identity experience to meaningful product outcomes.

I'm building products at Microsoft Security Engineering, following Product Manager roles in Microsoft Identity Engineering. My work is grounded in Azure Identity (AAD), where I progressed from Support Engineer Intern to Support Engineer and Technical Advisor.

I've brought customer-facing technical experience into product management across security, identity, and AI. I hold a Master's degree in Engineering and Industrial Management from Instituto Superior Técnico, including Erasmus study in SCM and Industrial Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology.
