I enjoy world-class products, and the universe that grows around.

Product leadership in SaaS, space and AI. 15 years in the field: software engineer, scrum master, product manager, head and director of product development. I've built products from zero to one, hired and led teams of 10+, and worked on ground segment systems from ESA's Copernicus programme to new space at Leaf Space. I operate across the full spectrum: business, strategy, hands-on.

Some things I'm proud of

GSaaS, Leaf Space: Global ground segment as a service. Director of product development. Built product team, owned SaaS lifecycle.

Wildfire Detection via Satellite: EU Horizon-funded satellite wildfire detection. Technical lead from concept to operations.

ESA Data Hub System: Copernicus Sentinel data dissemination for global Earth Observation. Software Architect for the ESA Ground Segment.
