My name is Juan Rodriguez, I’m a senior program manager at a tech company in Finland, my experience is in building both desktop and cloud solutions focused on B2B, I care a lot about product design identifying the right customer problems and finding the solutions that bring the biggest impact to the company.

My education is on electronics and automation and my early jobs were focused on machine vision and to some degree robotics, you can imagine I don’t like manual processes very much and love to automate as much as possible :) I moved to Finland in 2006 and started working as a software engineer, after a while I moved into product teams, with roles like application manager and product manager. Currently I am the product director driving product managers and helping them grow in their careers.

I plan my channel and document the tech companies ways of working in Notion, go check it out! [inside-the-product.notion.site/Inside-The-Product-…](www.notion.so/Inside-The-Product-ITP-c69f57e2583d4…)
