Summary

I am a Software Engineer with over 7 years of experience. Expert in planning, designing, bootstrapping and building digital products that become leaders in their markets. When I’m not doing that I’m volunteering in palliative care, learning how to speak at a Toastmasters club, or learning how to breathe in some mindfulness workshops.
