About Florestan
Senior Product Engineer with 8 years of experience in designing and building robust, end-to-end software solutions. Having built a software business from scratch, I am comfortable owning the full product lifecycle.
I bridge the gap between design, development, and business strategy, helping organizations make pragmatic, strategic trade-offs between technical debt and time-to-market. I thrive in high-trust environments where I can take ownership of the technical direction and focus on building high-quality, robust solutions rather than managing process overhead.
