Summary
I live between business and execution. Quickly understanding business models, processes, user needs, and technical constraints, enables me to act as an effective interface. I owned large key accounts, led a newly founded AI team across various initiatives and tasks, driving significant change management and reporting directly to C-Level.
Currently, I’m preparing my own venture and am building a social platform (Qstat), driven by the desire to make opinions accessible and create an impact. While I’m not a developer, I took the product from an idea to a live alpha — including developing a backend, frontend, ux and everything else needed — by just starting and learning as I go.
Although I am working on my own project, I am eager to be employed and use my skills on a bigger scale.
I enjoy challenges — and honestly need them to stay engaged. Broad, end-to-end problems motivate me more than deep specialization in a single domain.
