Engineer by heart, building since 2008
I built my first website in 2008 and never stopped. Engineering has been a passion long before it was a job. Professionally, I've spent 8+ years designing and shipping SaaS products across ride-hailing, maintenance software, eCommerce, telecom and IoT. Today I lead technology and product at RodBez, build my own ventures, and help other teams turn ideas into production systems.
