About
Software engineer turned product leader, with over 20 years of experience bridging technical depth and business strategy. I specialise in e-commerce platforms — particularly Magento — and have spent the better part of my career helping multinational organisations build, scale, and modernise their digital commerce infrastructure.
Since 2019 I have been working as an independent Product Owner embedded within Nestlé's Nescafé Dolce Gusto team, driving the roadmap for a global Magento platform. I hold a Master's degree (Diplôme d'Ingénieur) in Computer Science from EPFL and am a Certified Professional Scrum Master.
Beyond my core work I am a passionate AI enthusiast — closely following advances in large language models, generative AI, and the practical ways these technologies are reshaping how we build and deliver software.
