## About Me

I am a strategic Product Owner and Business Analyst with a Master's in Economics and more than 7 years of experience leading digital product development across banking and energy.

I specialize in translating complex stakeholder needs into actionable business requirements, clear user stories, and high-value backlogs that support measurable delivery outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have worked closely with cross-functional teams, technical architects, QA, operations, and business stakeholders to bridge the gap between business goals and technology execution.

I have strong experience in Agile environments, including sprint planning, backlog refinement, reviews, retrospectives, and roadmap definition, with a consistent focus on improving delivery speed and product quality.

My background includes work on digital banking platforms, regulatory and compliance systems, maritime navigation solutions, and API-driven integrations, where I helped improve user experience, operational efficiency, and stakeholder alignment.

I am known for structured thinking, strong communication, and the ability to manage complex dependencies while keeping delivery aligned with strategic objectives.

I am based in Lisbon, Portugal, and I bring a combination of business analysis, product ownership, and technical collaboration skills to digital transformation initiatives.
