Description

I am a technical product manager that has been focusing on renewable energy and power markets for the last three years. I have conceptualized, built, and mananaged a software product in solar power, for which my software engineering, data science, and modelling skills were of use. More recently, I have been upskilling myself in generative AI and agent building. I enjoy helping to innovate business processes, improving efficiencies, and unlocking value through the power of software, analytics, and AI in pretty much any context.

I would gladly connect to discuss how I can contribute to your project!
