From Developer to Product Owner.

My journey as a Product Owner has been uniquely shaped by my background as a Senior Back End Developer. While in the realm of development, I often found myself asking fundamental product-related questions like "Who is our target audience?" and "What defines the success of the websites we build?" These inquiries reflect my innate drive to understand the larger context surrounding our projects. This curiosity ultimately led me to transition into the role of a Product Owner. Today, armed with both technical expertise and a strategic mindset, I not only ensure the seamless functioning of products but also strive to create solutions that deeply resonate with users and fulfill their needs.

My expertise lies in:

• Agile Mastery: I'm certified as a Scrum Product Owner® by Scrum Alliance, well-versed in Agile methodologies that ensure efficient project execution and adaptability.

• Strategic Roadmapping: I excel in crafting product roadmaps that align with business goals and user needs, setting the stage for impactful and successful projects.

• Effective Communication: With experience in stakeholder presentations and SCRUM meetings, I ensure clear and concise communication to keep teams aligned and projects on track.

• User-Centric Approach: My background in psychology fuels my understanding of user behavior, helping me create intuitive and user-friendly digital experiences.

• Technical Acumen: Proficient in Python, SQL, and Ruby/Ruby on Rails, I bridge the gap between product and development teams, ensuring the feasibility and quality of projects.

• Collaborative Leadership: I've led cross-functional teams, managing backlogs, defining feature requirements, and prioritizing tasks to foster collaboration and drive results.

• Project Management Tools: I'm skilled in using Jira, Trello, Asana, and Monday.com to streamline workflows and enhance project visibility.
