About
Achievements
I'm a tech entrepreneur with a passion for life-improving software applications, education and great product design. I consider myself a 'product CEO,' taking responsibility for company vision, product direction, and project management. I've acted as PM for the majority of projects undertaken at my companies, but as a technical founder I've also been a core contributor on the codebase. My responsibilities have also included CI/CD and release planning, marketing and monetization. Needless to say, I've had hands-on experience in nearly every component and phase of product development.
I think people would describe me by saying that I'm an empathetic leader with a relentless entrepreneurial spirit. I'm excited to help a great company find product market fit and scale to greatness.
