About

As a Senior Solutions Engineer with a broad background in SaaS, headless CMS, and enterprise software, I help organizations connect technology with business impact. Over the past years, I’ve worked across multiple industries - from biometrics and POS systems to digital workplace and content management - translating complex product architectures into scalable client solutions. My focus lies in technical consulting, pre-sales enablement, and stakeholder management at the intersection of engineering, product, and customer success. What drives me is building bridges between tech and people - and developing processes and teams that deliver long-term value. I thrive in environments that connect technology, people, and strategy - where customer success and technical excellence go hand in hand. Always open to exchanging ideas on team enablement, scalable SaaS architectures, and leadership in pre-sales.
