ABOUT ME
Experienced Developer with 10+ years of experience
Experienced Developer with 10+ years of experience

Experienced in UX and UI design, software development, and product lifecycle management, holding an M.Sc. in Human Computer Interaction and Ergonomics from University College London. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for innovating impactful technology solutions that meet and exceed client requirements, as well as for leveraging both cutting-edge and proven design methodologies to increase user adoption. Professional focal points include user-centered design, brand development, content creation, product marketing, consumer insights, requirements gathering, road map development, go-to-market strategy, sales engineering, Agile/Scrum, business planning, and cross-team coordination. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication and negotiation skills, as well as business acumen, performance analysis, project management, and resource management to support efficiency and maximum returns.

Currently, I am the Product Manager with Siemens Digital Industries Software. Under my leadership, I govern product development for multiple software engineering products within the Mendix product line, overseeing the front-end and design system. I also craft business plans to guide product development and develop software release content for responsible products. In addition, I liaise with senior leadership, sales, and customer teams to ensure the company’s product management support structure is driving the business forward with minimal expenditures.
