About

Veteran CTO and serial entrepreneur building Aizzie, an AI‑first startup redefining how people experience travel. I bring a decade of hands‑on engineering and leadership across high‑growth startups and tier‑one finance, with a track record of turning ideas into AI‑driven products that scale. Previously CTO at EventX, Spaceship, and Plum, I’ve led product, engineering, and growth teams, rebuilt platforms, and shipped fast without sacrificing reliability. Earlier at Merrill Lynch, I drove large‑scale DevOps and automation initiatives across APAC, gaining deep experience in mission‑critical, enterprise‑grade systems.
