About
Digital Marketing & Growth Analyst
Growth-focused marketer connecting acquisition, conversion, and analytics to measurable business outcomes.
Summary
Professional summary
My career started in software engineering, where I spent years building systems and solving technical problems. Over time, I became increasingly interested in a different question: why do some products grow while others struggle? Building Bubakii gave me the opportunity to work across customer acquisition, marketing automation, lead qualification, conversion optimisation, and performance reporting. That experience shifted my focus from building software alone to understanding how marketing, operations, and data combine to drive business growth.
