About

Operations &
IT Specialist.

With over seven years of experience architecting international e-commerce platforms and over two years directing global supply chains, I bridge the gap between digital infrastructure and physical operations.

My expertise lies at the intersection of web technology, freight coordination, and customs compliance. Recently, I have deepened my technical foundation with certifications in cybersecurity architecture, and I am actively formalising my expertise through a BBA in Information Technology at Tampere University of Applied Sciences.
