- Provider Team: building and delivering the customer-facing enterprise applications and integrations (Zühre marketplace/e-commerce, WMS, import; ProposalCRM, DbNotti, AdminBI, Logo ERP).
- Support Team: customer support, incident/request management, bug fixing and continuous improvement.
I also oversee the design and development of a logistics platform positioned as an alternative to Ontime360 (widely used in the U.S. market). Agile/Scrum; technical leadership in software architecture, cloud-native solutions and large-scale enterprise integrations.
