I have loads of experience designing various types of experiences from live streaming to social media, even car subscription services and smart vending machines. What I love about my job is that I get to collaborate with really smart people where we constantly learn and adapt to the needs of the users and businesses.
I love technology and using it to create cool stuff that makes people feel things and fixes problems. I'm really good at taking ideas and turning them into something real. I have a lot of different skills, and I'm always trying to learn more so I can do even more awesome things.
