About

Curiosity, Adventurism, and Self-reflection have been my life-driving forces. They prompted me to put my fingers in the wrong places as a toddler, to never stop asking questions as a kid, to build an electromagnetic Gauss gun as a high schooler. They led me to the realm of math, and then of business: to building mobile apps as a sophomore, and starting a community platform to contribute in my country's societal change as a junior. These three forces guided me through civic tech, fintech, media, healthtech, and AI fields. They prompted me to work in all possible roles while growing my companies as a founder: from CEO, CTO, and CPO, to MC, cook, and lecturer. I built 12 products from scratch, failed fast and slow, yet bore some fruit: I launched a crowdsourcing platform for impact projects that engaged 200,000 people in my state, grew an interactive online magazine, created a venture-backed hardware device to promote gender equality and sexual wellness, and bootstrapped a mental health product to serve 300,000 users needing support. In 2020, I was named one of the "People of the Decade" by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (US) for making significant societal contributions with my impact startups. While building things, I try to cultivate kindness and compassion in myself, aiming to create businesses with purpose, and a human face.
