Job search context

During last five years, I relocated to Switzerland and took on the challenge of building and selling apps as an Indie Hacker. I thought that doing everything myself was a great way to learn all things product: from design, to engineering, to marketing and finance; and if I got lucky I could make it work.

Here are the products I built:

Product Portfolio

About me

Product Management and Startup Entrepreneurship

I’m a product leader with 8+ years of experience taking products from 0→1. Computer Science background with hands-on design and development. Skilled at turning ambiguity into clear product requirements; aligning engineers, designers, and executives around a shared vision. I’ve mostly focused on product discovery and customer development through rapid prototyping.

Software Engineering

I have over 10 years of experience building scalable, high-performance applications using Python, JavaScript, Flutter, and cloud tools like Firebase, Google Cloud, and AWS. I specialized in serverless systems, lean development, and creating intuitive user interfaces. I’m enthusiastic about systems architecture, software design, and more recently the Unison programming language.

While I had to build code to ship my products and I loved studying Computer Science, within a larger team, I prefer to work on product management.

Design

I’m a self-taught designer. I learnt fast prototyping in “Prototyping for Digital Experiences” from IDEO University and I enjoy iterating fast in order to ship products that people love. I also took the courses “Insights for Innovation” from IDEO University, and “Leading for Creativity” and I had the fortune of learning from a designer I admire who advised me on interaction design at LEEST. I specially like building aesthetic UIs and making users happy through a good understanding of their journey (this leads to good UX).
