About

Most developers can't communicate. Most PMs can't build tools — I do both.


I'm a FinTech Project Manager with deep operational insight and an e-commerce background.

I've coordinated developers, supported clients, and ran full-stack ecommerce operations.
Now, I'm bridging into technical automation Scrapers, automations, internal tools — the kind I used to request from devs . Building the tools I used to ask developers for.
Combining operational awareness with a hands-on understanding of how modern tools actually get built.


A full-stack operator with dev-level fluency, coordination instincts, and product/market awareness.
I bridge the gap between technical implementation and business objectives,
connecting market players with technical possibilities.


From operating markets and planning offers to scraping data DOM parsers, pagination handling, anti-bot headers, proxy rotation, structured extraction and building tools API-driven UIs, localStorage state sync, background script design, Chrome/Firefox extensions ,
I design lean, modular systems that deliver measurable results.


Self-taught, product-minded, and fluent in APIs and e-commerce.
I specialize in turning chaos into scalable systems.

Lets build something that delivers!

Need a PM, operator, custom systems/automation, or someone who connects tech with business needs?

I'm looking to join a cross-functional team where I can either manage or build, automate/improve real systems.
A place where i can continue to grow, learn from others, and push beyond my current edge.

Lets have a chat
