Technical Product Manager

Humaniti

Humaniti helps consumers by providing a budgeting tool & cash for surveys.  It helps our customers by providing data insights.

I was Humaniti's first technical hire where I built the dev. team from scratch.  We released MVP (desktop) in 5 months, and then added mobile (iOS & Android) 6 weeks later.

Next phase was to take ownership of our internal processes and procedures.  I implement traditional Software Development practices (SCRUM etc.) and fill the product pipeline.

From there my focus was on scale & growth - increase velocity (more features more often) while reducing bug count,

Tech stack is AWS, Python, Angular & ionic with Postgres & Snowflake.

HR functions included recruitment and defining personal & team KPI's.

10 head count including Dev, Support & QA.

Data Team Leader (Publishing)

I help teams ship software that actually works - scalable, maintainable, and built to last. 

With 25+ years in tech, I’ve seen every software disaster imaginable - from legacy code, nobody dares to touch to cloud migrations that “should be easy”. My job? Keep teams focused, stakeholders informed, and software delivered- while still being hands one and without unnecessary drama.

My expertise is modernising legacy systems, integrating cloud solutions, and leading teams through complex software transitions. I’ve worked in startups, government, and large enterprises, where I focus on removing bottlenecks, streamlining development, and helping all do their best work.

Great software is as much about people as it is about technology. A good plan, clear priorities, and a team that understands the goal make all the difference. Whether it’s technical strategy, stakeholder alignment, or making tough decisions that keep projects moving, I thrive in bringing structure and clarity to software delivery.

Experimenting with LinkedIn and finding what works and what doesn’t. Why?

The best thing you can do for your future self? Start building your personal brand TODAY | Don't know how? Follow me and I'll show you & get you organized along the way | Otter chilling in your LinkedIn feed 🦦

You know your leads are on LinkedIn, but can’t find them? Well….you found me!

I’m a Lead Hunter for people like you. Why should you work with me? Click "...see more" ⤵︎

#1 - I’m cheaper than Sales Navigator (€15 / week)
#2 - I’ve been hunting leads for my clients for over a year now
#3 - I qualify your clients for you based on criteria we set
#4 - I help you save some of your valuable time 

BONUS #5 - I’m basically an otter, so hunting is a natural behaviour for me


“I can’t wait for LinkedIn to start printing money”

“Sales Navigator is great, but it’s too expensive and time-consuming”

“I always spend double the time qualifying the leads I find there”

“I wish somebody gave me a list of people to connect with every week”


I am this somebody. For only €15 / week. 


How would it look like?
1. You tell me who your ideal clients are
2. I may ask some additional questions
3. I find your ideal clients and qualify them based on the criteria we set
4. I deliver 15 fresh qualified leads to you every week in the form of The Hunt List

Not sure if you want to try it? 

Think about it like this.

Would you rather: 
- plan what you want to cook
- go to the grocery store
- find and buy groceries
- prep the ingredients
- cook the dinner
- clean the kitchen
- and then you finally get to eat it

AND depending on how well you can cook, you might actually enjoy it as well.

OR

Get the freshly cooked meal delivered to your door IN LESS TIME for a LOWER PRICE than it would take and cost to cook it yourself?

It’s pretty clear if you ask me.


So ask yourself this: 

Do you want to spend a couple of months mastering Sales Navigator? 
Do you want to pay $80 / month to struggle with it? 


If the answer is “probably not”, here’s what you can do.

If we’re not connected, send me a connection request with the note “HUNT” 

If we are, just send me a DM, don’t be afraid to talk to me!

I don’t bite, I hunt 🦦
