My passion for technology and design sparked in middle school when I started building websites and applications using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

In an effort to get clients, I started cold calling companies and celebrities, I even got turned down by Jim Carrey's agent with an understandable response: "Who the f*** are you and how did you get this number?"

As I learned more skills online such as the Adobe Creative Suite, I began working with multinational corporations and building online businesses (such as vpnflights.com).

After getting my bachelor's in computer science, I was excited to jump right into the tech industry. I started working with AI and Web3 startups in New York City. As they began to rapidly grow, I found myself taking on more responsibilities ranging from design to engineering and eventually management.

I have been fortunate enough to be part of dozens of startups over the years, primarily focused on AI and Web3. The thrill of building something from scratch and seeing it grow into a successful business is what motivates me. Some of the startups I have worked on have raised millions in funding, while others have joined incubators to further develop their products and services. Each of these experiences have taught me valuable lessons that have helped me become the person I am today.
