About Me

Technology leader passionate about building solutions that create real impact

Startup Founder & Technology Leader

As Co-Founder and CTO of Hypothesis, I'm building AI-powered solutions to help D2C brands recover lost revenue and scale faster. My journey spans across founding engineering roles at YC-backed startups, where I've consistently delivered innovative solutions that drive business growth and user engagement.

Full-Stack Engineering Excellence

I specialize in architecting scalable systems, leading engineering teams, and delivering high-impact products. My expertise covers the entire tech stack - from frontend frameworks like React and Next.js to backend systems using Python, Node.js, and cloud infrastructure on AWS. I've successfully helped scale engineering teams from 3 to 100+ members.

AI & Data-Driven Innovation

I'm passionate about leveraging AI and machine learning to solve complex business problems. From developing proprietary algorithms for marketing optimization to building LLM-powered applications, I focus on creating technology that not only solves problems but creates opportunities for growth and innovation.

Beyond Technology

When I'm not building technology, you'll find me scaling rock walls, playing badminton, hitting the gym, or enjoying Sunday night gaming sessions. I believe in maintaining a balanced lifestyle while pursuing excellence in everything I do. 🐱🧗‍♂️🏸💪🎮
