About

A builder at the intersection of code, marketing and operations.

My background is unusual on purpose. I started in physics and engineering, moved into project and product management, then spent years as a full-stack developer and digital marketing strategist — and topped it off with a Master's in Management from Nova School of Business and Economics.

That mix means I'm equally comfortable building and scaling a Shopify store, architecting a Laravel backoffice integrated with SAP and Magento, optimising a marketing funnel, or leading a team toward a commercial goal. Today most of my ecommerce work lives on Shopify — from storefront and theme to apps, integrations and the operations behind it. I co-founded a sustainable fashion marketplace (acquired by PlatformE), taught Mobile Marketing at ISEG, and have shipped systems used across multiple countries.

On the growth side, I run paid acquisition across Facebook Ads and Google Ads, and I've designed and implemented gamification projects across several companies — turning loyalty, engagement and retention into measurable mechanics.
