Rodrigo Kalvāns

Business Analyst @ Wallet79

I’m Rodrigo — a Software Engineering grad who’s comfortable selling and negotiating as much as coding. I believe in the power of empathy and storytelling to motivate teams and shape products. Outside work, I am a pool player, scuba diver, cook and traveler — with recent trips across Peru and Colombia, including a week camping in the Amazon. Now - I reside in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
