About

My life has taken many turns.

Born and raised in a city of 24 million, where my childhood dream was to become a journalist.
Moved to the United States with my parents — first to a quiet town in Maryland.
APIs, SDKs, developer platforms. Built teams from the ground up at Google — multiple times, across continents.
Built my own company. Biggest lesson: build things you're passionate about.
Three wine certifications, countless cocktails. A beautiful chapter, now closed — but the palate stays.
Self-taught. Commercial and editorial work became a practice, but travel and documentary is where my heart is.
The hardest thing I've ever done. Six years away from tech — returned just in time for the AI wave.
Fine arts MFA in oil painting. Still finding my own style.
Product, design, and code — I've done all three since my startup days. Now back full time, building AI-first products in the energy sector.

I don't plan too far ahead. But on the horizon: Tibet before my knees give out. Plein air painting in Florence. Walking the Nakasendo trail in Japan.
