I am a solo entrepreneur based in Europe. I am also an author and contributor of open source projects, and a committer at the Apache Software Foundation.
Previously, I joined Confluent in 2015 as their first product manager, and helped build and grow their products and culture over six years, from eight employees all the way to 2,400 and IPO on Nasdaq. This was an unexpected journey and inspiring, but the time came to move on. I've set out toward something new, with a focus on people and less emphasis on software.
“It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.” — J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring, 1954
