About me

I've been building software since 2019 and working as a technical product manager since 2024. I'm passionate about user-focused product development and the collaborative work of moving products forward. I prefer to keep things boring and reliable, favoring battle-tested solutions over the latest shiny new tech. That said, I love experimenting with new tools and frameworks in my personal projects.
