About

With a background in Frontend Development and a PhD/PharmD in Life Sciences, I specialize in building and scaling digital tools that bridge the gap between complex data and user experience. I’ve evolved into roles that combine hands-on coding with high-level Client-Facing expertise. Through my experience at Didomi (Technical Account Manager) and Remote (Solutions Engineering), I have mastered the art of navigating high-stakes technical environments—translating complex customer needs into scalable SaaS architectures while ensuring strict data privacy and compliance. I bring a blend of clean code, product thinking, and active listening to every project. Whether you need a senior contributor to lead a Frontend project or a strategic partner to drive technical integrations and customer success, I thrive in making complex systems accessible, compliant, and efficient.
