Summary
38+ years deep into IT and the curiosity hasn't dimmed.
By day: SAP Functional Analyst shipping automotive projects across the Stellantis group; IT Manager keeping my company's infrastructure resilient — procurement, support, business continuity.
By night: web development, social media management, photo/video editing, audio mixing.
Reverse-engineering and root-cause analysis are my bread and butter — I'd rather understand the system than patch the symptom.
Greenfield projects are where I do my best work. Starting from a blank page beats retrofitting an old one — clarity, momentum, and a chance to engineer the right thing instead of patching the wrong one.
Clear communicator, autonomous executor, team multiplier through empathy and direct feedback (MBTI personality: ISFJ-A). Curiosity over comfort. Craft over haste.
AI Enthusiast
AI is part of my daily practice, not a side curiosity. I use it across writing, code review, image creation and editing — and this very portfolio was designed and coded together with Anthropic's Claude, iteration after iteration. I treat AI as a partner that sharpens judgment, never replaces it.
- LLM-driven pair-programming, refactoring, and code review
- Midjourney for moodboards, concept exploration, visual iteration
- Workflow automation for repetitive analysis and reporting
- Critical lens: AI sharpens judgment — it doesn't replace it
