About Me

I've spent the last 10 years exploring the world of digital products, from AI journey modeling at SAP to smart food processors at Bosch and everything in between. Along the way, I've built teams, shaped ideas into real-life solutions, and made user needs the heart of the process.

I love diving into data, talking to users, and turning insights into action. When I'm not working, you'll find me mentoring, writing, or on a journey of creative exploration.
