À propos

As a Productivity Engineer at Microsoft, I specialize in improving both the wellbeing and productivity of our internal engineering teams. My mission goes beyond just metrics; it’s about humanizing the workplace. Researching tooling, processes, and cultural dynamics, I have successfully implemented strategies that not only boost efficiency, but also foster a collaborative and satisfying work environment.

My approach is human-centered, focusing on empowering each developer to realize their full potential. This philosophy has led to multiple company-wide initiatives and policies that have measurably enhanced team dynamics and productivity. My passion lies in continually exploring innovative ways to improve our work culture, ensuring that every individual feels valued and motivated.

As I look to the future, I am excited to further contribute to creating productive workspaces that adapt to the changing dynamics of the modern workplace. Specifically, I look to tackle the challenges of optimizing hybrid work, as well as how best to leverage emerging technologies like AI.
