About
I'm a product owner with a deep engineering and architecture background. I started as a Java developer in Spain, moved into solution architecture at Innoveo in Zürich, then took on product for the Skye no-code insurance platform — the same system I'd helped build. After twelve years at Innoveo I moved into media as Product Owner for Goldbach's data management platform, leading a distributed team in Zürich and Belgrade.
Since mid-2025 I've been independent, building AI products that tackle the same kind of messy real-world problems I've always enjoyed. AMICOVERED is a live Swiss insurance app with agentic reasoning over users' own policy documents. usrPulse is a multi-tenant feedback platform with LLM-driven analytics, currently in development.
