About

When I was younger, I used to open up toys and gadgets just to figure out how they worked. That habit never really left me. Today, I do the same with products and ideas — breaking things down, understanding the pieces, and figuring out how to make them better. That curiosity naturally led me to become a founder — someone who sees what’s broken, pieces it back together, and finds a way to launch anyway. I’ve founded startups, seen failure up close, shipped messy MVPs, and launched too early. I’ve watched ideas fall flat and still found the energy to try again.

And hey — there’s a human behind this profile too. Offline, you’ll find me playing football or experimenting with AI side projects. ℙ.𝕊.: 𝔽𝕖𝕖𝕝𝕚𝕟𝕘𝕤 𝕞𝕖𝕣𝕖 𝕙𝕒𝕚𝕟, 𝕓𝕒𝕤 𝕝𝕚𝕜𝕙𝕒 ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕥𝔾ℙ𝕋 𝕟𝕖 𝕙𝕒𝕚..💬
