About

I am a technology leader turned founder, with 13+ years of experience building and scaling software systems at Amazon, Walmart, Bhanzu, Adobe, Target, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Over my career, I’ve led teams of 20+ engineers, delivered products used by millions of customers, and worked across payments, e-commerce, AI, search, and cloud security. Today, I’m pursuing my passion full-time as the solo founder of Pianoverse & Piano Champ — piano learning platforms that combine real-time performance evaluation, structured lessons, and global competitions to make learning piano engaging and fun. Since relaunching last month, Pianoverse has grown organically to 500+ users and 20+ DAUs without marketing. I’m now building a lesson publishing marketplace, enabling pianists to share their lessons and earn up to 40% revenue per download — creating a learner + creator ecosystem. 🎯 Currently seeking: Piano lesson publishers iOS/macOS developers UI/UX designers Investors/partners who share the vision of blending music, learning, and technology This journey began with helping my kids learn piano and has grown into a global mission to reinvent how people learn and play. 🚀
