About me

I work with e-commerce and marketplaces with a focus on building the systems that make everything work in practice. My work sits at the intersection of product data, automation, integrations, and scaling across markets and platforms.

That is why I focus on building the foundation behind the business: structured product data, connected systems, maintainable workflows, and the infrastructure needed to scale without losing control.

What I do

Product data architecture
I structure product data and PIM models so information stays usable across marketplaces, channels, reporting, and internal workflows.

Workflow automation
I reduce repetitive manual handling by designing practical automations where they create real operational value.

Integrations and data flows
I connect systems through clear integrations and dependable handoffs instead of fragile workarounds and copy-paste operations.

Marketplace and multi-market scaling
I build structures that support new markets and channels without letting complexity grow faster than the business.
