What I've Learned
After years at different scales - from startups to Meta - I've seen the same patterns everywhere. Smart people drowning in tasks that should be automated.
Where I've explored
- • Meta - learned how things scale
- • Unity - saw how systems connect
- • Restaurant tech - discovered simplicity under pressure
- • Various ventures - found what actually matters
What I'm building now
- • Tools that understand WhatsApp conversations
- • Dashboards that think before you ask
- • Email systems that sort themselves
- • Still learning something new daily
The best part? Every business I help teaches me something new to share with the next one.
Got a task that takes too long?
I'm exploring how AI can help delete it from your day.
