About

I am a Technical Product Operator with 8+ years of experience bridging the gap between complex engineering challenges and business ROI. Currently, I serve as a Product Owner at Volkswagen Digital Solutions, where I focus on delivering scalable, user-centric solutions. My core philosophy: Product Management isn't just about writing tickets; it's about understanding the Problem & Architecture (Docker, APIs, SQL, Python) both to drive realistic, high-velocity roadmaps. Highlights of my work: Business Impact: Saving €1M+ and reduced approval workflows from 3 days to 30 minutes (€416K savings). Technical Execution: Owned Agile delivery for an 8-member squad, utilizing tools like Helm, OpenShift, and Grafana to improve delivery velocity by 25%. Operational Scale: Previously led automation at TCS, cutting provisioning time from 1 day to 1 hour ($550K savings). Beyond the 9-to-5: I am passionate about democratizing product knowledge & promote our culture. Core Skills: Product Roadmapping (ROMS, RICE), Technical Specs (API Design, SQL), Data Analysis, and Stakeholder Management.
