About

Co-Founder & Chief Product & Technology Officer at Dispatch Network, where I lead the design and deployment of multi-tenant, AI-powered orchestration systems for last-mile logistics. In under three months, I architected and built our full-stack platform — from rider and SMB booking apps to DroneAI (our shared last-mile intelligence engine), modular business configurations, SLA-aware routing, H3-based geospatial intelligence, and a SUMO-grade urban delivery simulation platform. Venture-level results delivered: 50% reduction in empty miles 30% increase in rider earnings 15% reduction in last-mile delivery cost 20% lower CO₂ emissions per order (without EVs) I bridge hardware, software, and AI — developing purpose-built EVs, modular battery packs, and charging stations — with integrated app dashboards for gig workers. Passionate about building systems that combine technical depth, operational impact, and rapid time-to-market, with experience spanning mobility, logistics, IoT, and large-scale simulation. Always open to connecting with investors, founders, and operators building in mobility, logistics, or AI-powered infrastructure.
