I’m a product-driven indie developer and founder with a background in finance, an MBA, and 10+ years building mobile apps, backends, and teams. I specialize in going from idea to shipped product, designing, coding, and launching tools that solve real problems for global users.

Over the past decade, I’ve:
• Co-founded and sold a travel startup (WeHostels)
• Designed, built, and scaled a portfolio of profitable iOS apps (NomadGO, 5 apps live in the App Store today)
• Managed remote teams across Europe, the United States and Latin America for clients in streaming, media, and tech
• Led end-to-end product development, from UX to backend automation (iOS, Node, Firebase, Zapier, etc.)

I split my time between Berlin and Athens, and I’m open to:
• Fractional product or mobile roles (PM, builder, UX strategy)
• Creative technical consulting for startups launching apps or internal tools
• Collaborations with other indie builders or studios

Let’s talk if you’re building something that needs a hands-on, user-focused product builder who can design, code, and ship.
