About Me
I've always been a creative thinker and love coming up with new ideas. My PhD in mechanical engineering, specialized in scientific computing, gave me a solid foundation to explore cutting-edge technologies. I have hands-on experience in web technology and I've always been passionate about how humans organize themselves, whether it's in finance, legal, social or individual aspects.
I'm also a natural at mentoring and enjoy guiding others to success. With my diverse background in digital technology, agile processes, and human behavior, I'm committed to breaking new ground and driving progress in everything I do. I'm always looking for innovative solutions that push boundaries and deliver exceptional results.
Work Experience
2015 - Today
I joined forces with other pioneers to revolutionize organizational structures through what became the For-Purpose Enterprise, which applies the principles of self-organization to all aspects of a business, including social, financial, and legal contexts.
2009 - 2018
After shifting to building web applications, I took on the challenge of rearchitecting Streamit's platform for remote configuration and monitoring of streaming devices, taking the initiative to move it to the cloud and introducing a front-end/backend architecture.
1999 - 2008
I started my own business while still working on my PhD thesis to expand and market the software that was developed during that research, and acted as a consultant to large engineering companies on scientific computing.
