About
I am passionate about technology and motivated to work with a strong team to build scalable products that improve service delivery and create meaningful impact in the tech space.
Driven by a strong interest in how digital products are designed and scaled, I expanded my knowledge by studying software architecture, where I gained a solid understanding of APIs, databases, and backend systems. I also studied product management, where I developed skills in user research, roadmap definition, market and competitor analysis, user acquisition strategies, and aligning stakeholders around a clear product vision.
In practice, I operate in Agile environments using Jira Scrum and Kanban boards to manage workflows, prioritize tasks, and track performance. This allows me to maintain visibility, accountability, and consistent delivery across both operational and technical projects. I also have hands-on experience in product development, including building a Minimum Viable Product for a recruitment platform, where I focused on user needs, validation, and continuous improvement.
