About
At 18, I co-founded a community radio station. 42 people, no budget, entirely held together by late nights and stubbornness. It shouldn't have worked. It did — for two years.
That set the template: find something broken or missing, convince people it matters, build fast enough that doubt doesn't catch up.
The years since have been fintech — payments infrastructure, lending rails, MSME credit, IPO markets. I've co-founded two companies, been a founding engineer at a third, and processed enough transactions to understand that the hardest problems in financial services are rarely the technical ones.
Right now I'm in the middle of figuring out what comes next. Something at the intersection of the offline world, live experiences, and real community — the spaces where people actually show up for each other, and what it looks like to build meaningfully for those.
Thinking about
The offline world — physical spaces, live experiences, real communities — and what it looks like to design for them with the same intentionality we bring to software. How technology can deepen presence rather than replace it. And where social impact sits at the intersection of all of this.
