In My Own Words
WEB/FRONT-END & ECOMMERCE DEVELOPER, PROJECT/PRODUCT MANAGER
A manager and a web professional with among others Scrum Master and Scrum Product Owner Certifications, in-progress AWS Developer & Solutions Architect Certifications and almost 15 years of experience developing and managing web products and projects. I possess strong communicator and mentor vision and team cohesion in a multicultural, fast-paced and agile environment with a great level of efficiency. Combine technological, analytical, and business skills to identify resource needs and determine profitable direction for business and sales growth and to ensure continuous improvement, enhance value chain, and increase customer satisfaction.
