## About

```text
At Ektaraa, I launched a full e-commerce platform in eight weeks, including product pages, checkout, and customer journeys. I also built AI-augmented workflows that replaced more than three hours of weekly manual analysis.

At European Depositary Bank, I translated compliance mandates into product roadmaps and user stories. I defined a migration roadmap for a cost-savings initiative, and more than 12 legacy workflows became compliant digital processes.

At Alter Domus, I managed discovery and delivery for a B2B client dashboard serving institutional clients across eight markets. Five automation features reduced manual operational effort, while GA4 and Power BI dashboards helped improve client satisfaction.

I also conceived and shipped Visara, an AI discovery platform applied across more than 10 brands, and built ReFi, an AI-driven refinancing project recognized at the Google Agentic AI Hackathon. I’m interested in product work that combines discovery, execution, and measurable customer outcomes.
