Über mich
With a pronounced entrepreneurial drive, I thrive in building products from inception to completion. My extensive background involves developing tools and products specifically for a technical audience, including developers. I often find myself in leadership roles, whether in an official capacity or as a natural progression of team dynamics. A key aspect of my work is engaging with users and customers, which I greatly enjoy as it directly contributes to the product development process. My enthusiasm extends to Large Language Models and AI tech, an area I am deeply interested in despite not having a machine learning background. My recent focus has been on Cloud-Based and Serverless setups, particularly with AWS and Cloudflare, but my capabilities span across both front/backend development. Notably, I built the CDK for Terraform with HashiCorp from the ground up and am honored to be recognized as a member of the AWS Hero program, reflecting my dedication and expertise in the field.
