Professional Experience

5+ years of experience in software engineering, application development and user experience design.

I'm a tech innovator and software engineer with over 5 years of experience turning complex ideas into reliable, scalable applications. My journey spans from serving as CTO of a LegalTech startup to founding an agribusiness venture, blending technology with social and economic impact.

I’m passionate about building systems that are not only efficient but strategically aligned with user needs and market realities. My background combines hands‑on engineering expertise with deep research insight — I thrive on analyzing data, exploring emerging technologies, and translating findings into meaningful product features.

Beyond development, I enjoy speaking on technology, leadership, and innovation, sharing insights that inspire digital transformation across industries. As an author and lifelong learner, I’m continually exploring how technology can empower creators, businesses, and communities alike.
