Über mich

I've grown teams from first hire to 22+ people and strengthened those I've inherited. Rooted in software engineering, I now build AI-powered automation, RAG pipelines and LLM integrations hands-on — reducing friction so teams focus on what matters. What drives me: seeing people and companies thrive.
