About Me

I'm a technology leader and hands-on developer with over 10 years of experience in IoT, Embedded Systems, and Cloud Solutions. From building autonomous robots and AI-powered biodiversity trackers to architecting secure, scalable cloud infrastructure for automotive and industrial clients, I thrive at the edge of innovation and practical delivery. I combine deep technical expertise with a passion for solving real-world problems—whether it's through MQTT-based digital value chains, edge-to-cloud integrations, or data-driven applications. I enjoy working across cross-functional teams and taking ideas from prototype to production in dynamic, impact-driven environments.
