About me

Background

Founder and advisor with over 10 years of experience building innovative tech solutions. I began my career as a software engineer at SwiftKey, Microsoft, and Meta, where I helped develop products used by millions. In 2023, I left Meta to focus on entrepreneurial ventures and consulting opportunities.

Entrepreneurial Impact

I've built AI-powered platforms that streamline processes—for example, a platform that matches users with their ideal homes, significantly reducing the time and effort needed in the search process, and a mentorship app that generates steady recurring revenue. I also offer strategic advice that has helped launch investor-focused applications.

Technical Expertise

My background covers Android and web development, backend engineering, and AI. I enjoy tackling challenging problems, clear communication, and collaborating with diverse teams. Today, I use my hands-on experience to help tech companies and entrepreneurs grow and innovate.

2023 - present

I decided to leave Meta to focus on entrepreneurship and consulting. I launched several AI-powered products: Mentor (an AI goal coach), Delfos (career guidance platform), and Mirando (property search assistant). These projects allowed me to work on my passion of helping people achieve their goals, while mastering web development and AI technologies. I also provide consulting services to companies on product strategy, engineering, and AI implementation.
