Reflecting on the past decade, I have experienced accelerated growth in my career. I made it to director level in 10 years.

It all started with my initial role as a junior engineer. After a few months, I sought a more challenging learning experience, so I started my own company, which eventually failed. I then joined a new startup and two acquisitions later, I became director of engineering in one of the biggest European wearable offices of Google.
