My roles have often extended beyond pure development to encompass software team management, product planning, and crafting effective marketing strategies. This interdisciplinary experience, supported by Master's degrees in Marketing Communication and Technology Entrepreneurship, allows me to approach challenges with a holistic perspective, ensuring that technical solutions are perfectly aligned with business objectives and market needs.
As a hands-on full-stack developer, my core technical expertise lies in building robust web applications using Ruby, Python, and TypeScript.
