About

From building grassroots communities in college towns to leading growth and developer ecosystems at Microsoft, my journey has always revolved around one belief: 💡 "Communities build trust. Trust builds products. Products build markets." I started in early-stage startups, where I was wearing five hats before breakfast leading content, organizing hackathons, launching community-led GTM campaigns. At Skillenza, we built a 10k+ strong dev community in under a 9 months, partnered with Microsoft Azure, and launched 20+ national hackathons. Masai School gave me my first real taste of scale. With zero budget, I helped grow a nationwide coding community of 28k+ students, driven by storytelling, student activities, and user obsession. Then came Web3. At OG Club DAO, I wasn’t just building a Telegram group. I was laying the blueprint for what modern internet-native movements could look like. 100+ IRL and URL events in 8 countries. Community rituals. DAO playbooks. Co-branded campaigns with VCs and protocols. It wasn’t just marketing, it was movement design. Today, at Microsoft, I combine that community instinct with platform-level thinking. Whether it’s simplifying developer onboarding on Edge Add-ons, shipping SDKs for WebView2, or building GitHub-first support channels, I lead programs that blend AI-assisted growth, ecosystem strategy, and deep user empathy. I’m not just here to grow products, I’m here to grow belief systems around them.
