Plan digital products clearly and deliver them reliably.
I help teams turn product ideas into reliable digital outcomes through focused execution, pragmatic technology choices, and a delivery setup that works under real deadlines and constraints.
Whether you are launching, stabilizing, or untangling a critical phase, I connect product and engineering, reduce complexity, and create visible progress you can track.

For the PropTech startup emilia.app I worked on a cross-platform React Native app with a Rails-based GraphQL API.
For Balloon I supported the ISO 27001 certification as both advisor and implementer, from translating requirements into working processes to embedding them in the team day to day.

Within a few weeks I built the MVP for an SEO-oriented platform to generate leads for a real estate brokerage website.
I guided development and product management to relaunch a platform that allows paying for goods with social reach.
