About

Bilingual Creative Technologist and Product Designer/Builder/Developer/Engineer/Architect who loves to superpower my workflow using the latest AI powered tools such as Cursor IDE.

Over 12+ years, I’ve gradually specialized in a range of disciplines (design, engineering, product, and AI) so I can deliver more value in a technology landscape that’s always evolving. My approach is to learn by doing: with each project and role, I’ve added new skills to my toolkit, always focused on solving real problems for real people.

I thrive on collaborating with highly driven teams to turn vision into MVPs and scalable solutions, using a product-led, jobs-to-be-done, and value proposition-driven approach.

My process is hands-on and iterative: I facilitate workshops, work closely with stakeholders to define the real jobs to be done, and lead teams to deliver value to users in the fewest steps possible.

I believe the best products are built through a blend of technical excellence, deep listening, and collaborative problem-solving, always keeping the user’s needs and the business’s goals at the center. I’m at my best when I’m helping turn vision into reality, building what’s next, and making sure every step solves a real problem for real people.

I’m currently very fascinated by rapid prototyping, AI context management, and orchestrating collaborative product development with the latest tools, always seeking new ways to deliver value faster and smarter.
