MM V.Y.

I am a software engineer, product director, ui/ux designer, serial opinionator, active writer and listener, coffee-powered problem solver and potato connoisseur.

Known for my mild temperament and diplomatic skills, I can turn heated debates into friendly discussions — but I strike right at the core when I see where the problem is. Bluntly straightforward, wrapped with a little bit of sophistication, is often the most efficient approach.

I love to build elegant solutions to address real-world problems. I've created everything from "it's just a small landing page" (narrator: it wasn't) to "enterprise-grade applications that could launch rockets" (protentially). It just fascinates me to see things running and working...

Work Experience

  • Nov 2019 - Now
    A IoT Company
    Marketing Director -> Project Director -> Product Director

    Quite a drama - I couldn’t stand the new platform—a rushed rollout by an unprofessional product team (thanks, Company merger, for merging a mistake). It put me in an unbelievably humiliating situation in front of the customers - as I’d prefer to pitch based on facts not lies. No way was I putting up with that.

    So… I kinda pitched myself to management: “I can do better.”

    With 0 experience in product design, I got recruited by the new boss - the one brought in to fix the disaster. Four months later, we built a brand-new platform and wiped the old one off the map (not really—it was retired gradually, but you get the point).

    Now, I lead a team of six product managers—and we’re still hiring. 🚀

  • Nov 2018 - Nov 2019
    Something here and there
    Restaurant owner/ Freelance developer & IT

    Took some time off, tried a lot of new things—most didn’t work out. But honestly? Failure turned out to be a better teacher than any risk-free office job. Wouldn’t trade the experience for anything.

  • Sep 2009 - Oct 2018
    A few Semiconductor companies
    Tester/Software Engineer/Engineering Manager/Technical Manager

    Honestly, I thought I’d be the stereotypical awkward tech person. Plot twist: put me in a room full of developers, and somehow, I became the go-to coordinator.

    Fueled by my love for development, I was soon made Development Manager, leading a team of 21—despite not being the most senior among them.

    I once discovered a subtle register overload issue in an Infineon chip using ARM7 architecture, — one that could only be reproduced under certain conditions. Got an appreciation letter from the company. It was fun.

    Loved the work, loved the experience, loved the team. It shaped who I am today.

    Day I left, I carried boxes and boxes of ISO and ETSI specifications with me. What an era! Can’t believe I had the courage to walk away from 10 years of my life. Felt like I left a piece of myself in the industry. Harder than a breakup! 😢💔
