About

I’m an entrepreneur and technologist passionate about building software products that simplify real-world challenges. With 20+ years of experience in software architecture, product development, and leadership, I’ve worked across startups and enterprises — turning ideas into scalable digital solutions. I’ve built and led products for restaurants, grocery & vegetable businesses, and service-based industries — helping them adopt technology for efficiency, discoverability, and growth. Currently, I’m leading Karmantika, a funded SaaS platform that helps businesses become discoverable, bookable, and connected — through a unified digital presence powered by intelligent automation. I’ve worked hands-on across modern stacks including Django, Flask, Node.js, Vue3, React, and AWS Cloud. I believe in staying close to the code and closer to the purpose. Beyond tech, I’m an artist at heart — I love working with oil paints and sketching to find balance and creative expression. I’m also a gym enthusiast, marathon runner, proud father, husband, and (hopefully) a good human being who believes in continuous learning and meaningful creation.
