Description

Feel free to reach out, if interested in a collaboration, regardless the business domain. Capital markets are most fun though.

With a Master's degree in Marketing and a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, I am committed to solving challenges and improving processes within organizations. I specialize in working with cross-functional teams to create innovative tech products that boost efficiency.

I have 10+ years of collaborating with IT development teams in scaled Agile frameworks, across various industries, including capital markets, fintech, banking, retail, employee management, currency exchange, travel, online gaming, and non-profits. I’ve also worked as a data analyst for one of the top companies in the e-commerce industry.

My focus is on delivering successful AGILE product releases with a strong emphasis on quality. By performing detailed root cause analysis, I ensure we identify the real issues and deliver solutions that provide the most value to the end-user.
