01. About me

Self-taught and endlessly curious, I’ve crafted a career that spans Data Engineering, AI Engineering, Product Management, and more. I’m fueled by persistence, a healthy dose of caffeine, and a few too many puns that often miss the mark. But when it comes to my work, there’s no punchline—just impactful results that matter. I’m also passionate about fostering a positive culture where every team member feels valued and empowered to contribute meaningfully.

Throughout my journey, I’ve secured a few patents, spoken at industry conferences, and partnered with everyone from scrappy startups to Fortune 50 giants. Internally, I routinely work with product managers, sales teams, and developers, always focused on bridging the gap between business needs and technical execution. Some say I’m a bit of a Renaissance man, minus the painting skills and the fancy hats.

02. Beyond the backlog

I have a passion for all things data, AI, and development, which keeps me busy with pet projects, writing articles on Medium, and experimenting with the latest technologies. Right now, I’m diving deep into front-end and back-end development to perfect my skills in Full Stack AI application development.

When I’m not immersed in tech, you can find me on the slopes, hiking scenic trails with you Theo, camping under the stars, or traveling to new places. I also enjoy volunteering for environmental initiatives and mentoring those taking unconventional paths into the tech world. It’s all about sharing knowledge and making a positive impact!
