What I'm looking for

I seek AI- or product-focused roles where I can build AI-driven products, apply data-driven decision-making and blockchain research, and collaborate in creative, growth-oriented teams that value experimentation and cross-disciplinary impact.

I am a tech-driven creative with multidisciplinary training in Business Administration, Philosophy, and Psychology, focused on AI, data-driven decision-making, and blockchain applications. I combine hands-on engineering with a strategic lens developed during an MBA (4.0) focused on Entrepreneurship & Innovation.

I have built and deployed AI-driven micro‑SaaS using Next.js and React, worked as an AI Training Analyst refining model outputs, and consulted on AI automation for lead generation and workflow optimization. My projects emphasize measurable impact: improving model reliability, launching product features, and driving lead conversion through targeted campaigns.

I thrive at the intersection of technology and creativity, bringing skills in Python, SQL, JavaScript, R, machine learning pipelines, SEO, and API integrations, alongside creative experience in filmmaking and performance. I seek opportunities where I can apply AI and product development expertise to drive innovation and tangible business outcomes.
