About Me

I possess a unique blend of technical and management skills, with a strong background in testing and web development, which allows me to have a holistic view in the projects that I am assigned to. Passionate about the constantly evolving world of digital product development, I remain eager to continue learning and growing. I humbly believe that we can all learn from each other and am excited to collaborate with like-minded professionals to drive innovation, be part of something much bigger than all of us, and contribute to the development of cutting-edge software, apps, and digital products.

During my free time, I breed critically endangered tortoise species (legally of course), play tennis at least twice per week, and take care of my daughter.
