About

Who I am

I started out in electronics engineering before moving fully into software, training intensively through a full-stack development bootcamp and then cutting my teeth across freelance projects, contract roles, and an internship at a government research organisation. That path took me from shipping enterprise SaaS modules for fintech and business clients to now building my own AI-powered products end to end. I'm currently based in Berlin completing a Master's in International Management alongside my engineering work, which shapes how I approach products — not just writing code, but understanding the business and users behind it. Outside of work you'll usually find me reading, travelling, at the gym, or still tinkering with side projects.
