About me

About me

I’m driven by the process of turning user needs into real, tangible solutions. I enjoy understanding the broader context, collaborating with diverse teams, and guiding a product from concept to launch iterating quickly and intelligently along the way.

What sets me apart is the combination of my creative background (design, content, UX) and my solid technical understanding. I can speak both the language of development teams and end users making me an effective bridge between stakeholders. My approach is user-centered but outcome-focused. I’m detail-oriented without losing sight of the bigger picture and business goals. I enjoy testing, learning, iterating and building meaningful products.

Accomplishments

1. Product Owner for eMAG’s AI Chatbot Implementation

Led the cross-functional team in developing and launching a Python-based AI chatbot, fully integrated via APIs into existing support systems. As a result, Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) scores increased dramatically to 90% in by automating and accelerating support resolution.

2. Product Owner for a Stock Reservation Algorithm App

Spearheaded the development of a Python-based application designed to prevent out-of-stock orders across Romania, Hungary, and Bulgaria. The solution used API integrations to communicate with the frontend and the inventory system, leading to a significant and sustained drop in stock-related issues and customer complaints, enhancing supply chain reliability.

Oversaw the end-to-end development of a Symfony-powered backend and a modern React Native mobile app for warehouse operations.
