About

I’m building HamTiv, a mobile-first OTT platform focused on cinematic micro-dramas. Short, emotionally driven stories designed for mobile bingeing. The idea came from a simple observation: short-form platforms optimize for volume and scrolling, but very few are built for emotion, chemistry, and narrative payoff. At HamTiv, we’re reimagining storytelling for mobile by combining: Creator-led writing over factory templates High-chemistry romantic and dramatic arcs Short, episodic formats designed for binge behavior Product thinking rooted in how people actually consume stories on mobile Before HamTiv, I spent over 4 years as a software engineer, building and scaling mobile products end-to-end. I now apply that same engineering mindset to storytelling - treating emotion, pacing, and retention as design problems. I’m particularly interested in the intersection of technology, storytelling, and audience psychology, and how entertainment products can feel both meaningful and addictive without being shallow. Always open to conversations around content, product, and the future of mobile entertainment.

Independent Product Exploration

Explored multiple consumer product directions across career discovery, reflective learning, and storytelling.
Built and shipped multiple MVPs (app + web), tested user behavior, and iterated rapidly based on retention and engagement signals.
This phase led to the core insight that users don’t want instruction — they want emotional connection, which ultimately shaped HamTiv’s micro-drama direction.
