Hi there and welcome to my page.
I am an experienced digital technology professional, with a solid background in both software engineering and product management. I've worked across a mix of industries like consulting, healthcare, finance, and education, bringing together technical know-how, business smarts, and strategic thinking. I love tackling tough challenges and creating products that really make a difference, whether it's B2B, B2C, or B2B2C.
I began my career as a backend engineer, developing software applications with Python/Django then transitioned to product management where I led development teams and championed product development strategies to achieve business goals and objectives
I have recently fallen back in love with solving challenges with code and now, I am refocusing on web development where I can leverage my diverse industry background to create exceptional web user experiences, drive innovation, and deliver customer value.
I'm excited to dive back into my technical roots and am on the lookout for full-stack engineering roles, especially those with a front-end focus. I'm eager to put my product and UX skills to work, solving complex user and business challenges through code.
Here is a whistle-stop tour of my career over the past decade

Want to chat about something fun? Here are a few of my favourite activities outside of work!
I love volunteering with groups that unite people with shared interests, helping each other grow and learn. Over the years, I've had the chance to support communities focused on product management and DEI, where I enjoy giving back and helping others succeed.
Here are some of my recent volunteering activities:
I love to unwind with a mix of games, from the relaxing and brain-teasing puzzles like Sudoku and crosswords on the New York Times Games app to the more action-packed experience of video games like the Insomniac Spider-Man series on PS5.
A fun fact about me: I only really enjoy Sudoku when it's set to the highest difficulty level!
I love sharing my insights and life experiences through my blog on Medium — it's my creative outlet for everything I'm learning along the way.
