Independent projects
I build because I’m curious.
Outside my day-to-day product responsibilities, I explore ideas through prototypes, software experiments and AI-driven workflows. Building helps me understand what’s possible — and what’s actually useful.

About me
Business-minded.Technology-driven.AI-forward.
My career has taken me from business development and operations into technology leadership and digital product development. That journey taught me to look at every technical decision through two lenses: what is possible, and what actually creates value.
Today, I combine product leadership with practical AI exploration, hands-on technical understanding and experience leading international teams.
