ABOUT ME

I am curious, it might have eventually killed the cat, but I am sure it had an exciting life!

Naturally interested and enthusiast for business innovation and entrepreneurship with a very sharp sense
of aesthetics and brand. I founded my first startup at 16 and have been working on internationalization for
the last 3 years. Very approachable, a real go-to guy, and love to work for goals on a dynamic environment
within a good team, with the ability to work independently and I have managed small teams of up to 4
persons.

I am creative and solution-oriented with good problem solving skills; I think critically and I ask why. Design
is not just ment to be beautiful: it must be a clean and reasonable balance between aesthetics and
functionality.

In a nutshell: al-around
