Time is the most valuable resource we have, which is why I want to help as many people as possible make the most of it. I discovered the world of bot creation (RPA) in 2021 and saw enormous potential to achieve this goal. Over my career, I’ve specialized in Microsoft Power Automate, Make.com and Blue Prism, while also gaining experience with UIPath and IBM RPA, always with a clear goal in mind. I lived in New Zealand for a year and a half, where I improved my English and learned a lot, not only about RPA, but also about sales, business, project management, people, and many other things I’ll carry with me throughout life. In 2023, during my time in New Zealand, I created Firbot Academy, an online bot creation academy that empowers business owners and individuals to build their own digital workforce. Today, I dedicate myself to freelancing by creating bots for businesses and continue to produce content to help more people save their time.
