I have pretty good understanding of how to reach the business goals in a fast and efficient way, without sacrificing the quality. Never chasing complex solutions that are only pleasant for the tech people egos, but focused more on the pain of an end-user and requirements of the stakeholders.
Would love to manage one or more cross-functional teams developing their own product or part of the platform, with all accompanying activities: hiring, mentoring, coaching, architecture and code reviews, etc.

Ideally, a company has a socially valuable mission and positive impact on society: ed-tech, med-tech, eco-tech, e-mobility, etc.
