• You have a strong experience delivering short, outcome-focused projects end-to-end with high ownership.
• You are skilled in rapid prototyping to validate ideas and de-risk customer decisions (e.g., PoCs, MVPs, architecture spikes).

• You thrive in direct customer engagement and can quickly build trust with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
