What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead cross-functional teams to deliver scalable fintech or AI-enabled products, with emphasis on technical design, integration, and measurable business impact.

I am a Strategy & IT Consultant with 4+ years designing scalable IT solutions across fintech, retail, and enterprise. I specialize in translating business needs into robust technical architectures and product features.

At Mastercard Advisors I contributed to retail banking product improvements and payment strategy while redesigning consumer lending funnels with measurable business impact. At Accenture I led product discovery, integrations, and AI-related initiatives that supported over €1M in revenue.

I have hands-on experience with microservices-based order management, CBDC conceptual design (ISO 20022), API integrations, and data extraction pipelines, using technologies such as Apache Kafka, REST API, Python, SQL, and cloud platforms.

I focus on clear requirements gathering, As-Is/To-Be analysis, BPMN/UML modeling, and cross-functional delivery to ensure solutions meet user needs and scale effectively.
