#01 The Work
Being engaged with high intensity work for many consecutive years through several startups, I reached an uncommon degree of mastery in a multitude of subjects. At the same time, I am told I gain respect and personal confidence not just by sheer expertise, but because it is shockingly easy to trust me.
With these efforts, I am a protagonist in bringing companies from empty handed to tens and hundreds of millions in valuation.
I operate at the highest level of engineering, from pre-seed to Series B, writing the first line of code, signing off the hundredth hire.

#02 The Tech
I'm not just a fast learner like everyone else: I'm keeping myself ahead of the curve. I used to be one of those whiz kids who started coding at 8, before the Internet was common. I was doing senior work from the first day of my one internship. I quickly grew into roles for higher technical expertise, normally holding more responsibilities than implied.
Confident in my ability with software development, I focused on becoming a better tech person.
Understanding the various kinds of people who are in tech, as well as team dynamics, has been my top priority from the moment I started working commercially. Not without some burns, I've come to appreciate and best empower all of my peers. Nobody should be left alone.

#03 The Person
I am confident enough that I don't need to sugarcoat my personality, while properly managing my mental health to keep being a high achiever. I'm colorful, playful, plagued with incoherence between vanity and self-depreciation.
I'm generally accepted as a positive energiser. People want me in the conversation whenever possible. I love events with teams, and I will be the first to prepare these for everyone to have some fun.
My core value of transparency goes all the way to showing fragility. If I feel sad and can't perform too well that day, I will tell my team, not a problem. And they can do so as well, and be protected.
