• As Co-Founder of Techfriar, I lead our technology and strategy initiatives to deliver impactful, user-centric solutions in the Compliance, Wealth, and GovTech sectors. Our product development studio is home to three flagship platforms:

• Danti – A comprehensive wealth tech platform that empowers family offices to digitize and preserve their generational wealth.
• Votefriar – A secure, verified digital voting solution for clubs, societies, associations, and corporate boards, ensuring transparency and trust.

It’s a model that combines strategic guidance with hands-on implementation, ensuring our partners quickly move from idea to scalable product.

• Brew.com was eventually absorbed into BuyMeACoffee, discontinuing the Brew brand but continuing its mission to empower content creators. This experience sharpened my skills in financial strategy, investor communications, and partnership development within the rapidly evolving podcast and creator economy.
