About me
Intro
Two decades leading technology across gaming, SaaS, and enterprise platforms — from R&D departments in various European companies and Battle.net at Blizzard Entertainment to complex international programs at Allego. I build teams that ship under pressure, and I humbly lead with one principle: people first, no matter what. I've experienced that the sky is the limit, and I make it my responsibility to create the conditions to get there.
