Origin

Trained as a scientist,
drawn to systems

My career began in the forest — studying genetics, recovering degraded areas, and understanding how complex ecological systems adapt and self-organize. That foundation shaped how I think about every system I encounter: software, data, organizations, and user experiences.

As a child, I wanted to be an artist — probably a writer of science fiction. Unable to choose between making things and understanding things, I found a way to do both. The refusal to separate the analytical from the creative became the defining trait of how I work — and has granted me high performance recognition across different organizations and contexts.


Journey

From the forest
to the global stage

At EY Seren in Dublin, I brought systemic thinking into UX consultancy for global clients. At Trimble, I progressed from Product Analyst to Manager in under a year, receiving recognition for high performance. I later chose innovation over title, moving from management to lead AI and machine learning design initiatives.

Today, with a background spanning Forest Engineering, Software Engineering, Design, and Data Science (MBA at USP), I operate at the intersection of these disciplines — using data governance, product strategy, and user-centered design to build adaptive, resilient systems. Currently based in Finland.


Now

Where I am
today

At Trimble, I lead AI-agnostic design processes that are an integral part of software development and software engineering — guiding teams through design decisions from the first requirement to the final deployment, in a role that sits at the intersection of business analysis, design leadership, and engineering.
