What I'm looking for

I seek roles that combine storytelling and technology, leading interdisciplinary teams to build civic, open-source, or innovation-driven projects with collaborative culture and impact.

I am a journalist with 15 years of experience in audiovisual content production, digital content management, and innovation project leadership. I have produced for print, radio, TV, and web, and I combine strong narrative skills with solid technical knowledge of open-source technologies and development workflows.

As Innovation Manager at a civic NGO, I lead interdisciplinary teams, design and implement innovation methodologies, and manage partnerships with universities and researchers. I contribute to open-source communities (Debian translation team) and have a track record in editorial leadership, product implementation, and technology-enabled civic projects.
