Hey, I'm Rene 👋🏼

Product engineer · Muslim founder · London

CS background. The past few years, working as a Senior Tech Consultant, I've been at the intersection of tech and people. Product, design, customer research, architecture, stakeholder translation. That's the day job. Now I'm back to engineering thanks to AI.
