About Me

Hi! I'm Michael, a Product Manager passionate about building new products, new features and blowing business's goals. I like to think that in every company I work for, I put my energy, sweat, blood and tears like if it was my own company. I had and managed my own company for few years so I know what I'm talking about! For the past few years, I developped a true passion for the crypto world. From trading crypto currency to actually creating a new one, creating smart contract on Solidity, creating andf minting NFTs on the blockchain, building web3 apps...

What I Do

Product Management

I've experienced building products from scratch and at scale. If you ask me the definition of product management, I'd say that it's like being on a very fast train and the job of the PM is to figure out and plan with the team all the tracks ahead... so that the train can keep moving in the right direction while making sure your passengers are delighthed and enjoy the view!

Data Analysis

At my most recent Sr Product Manager position at Ampli I became almost obsessed about Data. How to generate (more and more) data? How to query the data? How to present the data? How to tell a story with the data? That's all the steps that you have to figure out to be able to report to your stakeholders and make the best product decisions.

Entrepreneurship

I've always admired how from a simple and tiny idea/vision people can build successful products and reach so many consumers. That's what motivated me to create my own company, from a simple idea. Though the journey has been long and full of challenges and not as successful as I was hoping at the end, it has forged a resilient mindset in me that helped me become the stronger product manager that I am today.

Crypto Projects

It's unbelievable how many opportunities the blockchain technology provides and that's why I couldn't keep myself away from thinking and even building projects using that technology. I've been working on personnal projects (learning how to release a new token) and most recently a project around FoodTech.
