About
I'm a founder and operator who builds and scales products from scratch — from idea to real traction.
I've built platforms used by 100,000+ users, supported $7M+ in fundraising, and helped companies find product-market fit without wasting time or capital.
I came to the U.S. at 17 with $100 and no connections. That experience shaped how I build — focused on speed, resourcefulness, and making things work when nothing is guaranteed.
I've made the mistakes most founders make early — and learned how to avoid them. Today, I work with a small number of companies to help them move faster, get traction, and build something that actually works.
