About

I’m the co-founder of Emereg, building infrastructure for AI agents to interact with the web in reliable, scalable ways. I’m interested in the systems layer behind agentic software, the tooling that helps AI move from generating text to actually completing workflows online. At Emereg, we’re focused on making browser based execution more robust, observable, and production ready. Currently building at the intersection of AI agents, automation, and internet infrastructure. Before Emereg, I led sales and GTM at Volopay (YC-backed fintech), scaling revenue across Southeast Asia. I’ve worn many hats from founder to country head, but I always come back to solving meaningful problems and going zero to one. 🚀 Currently backed by Antler and Iterative. 🧠 Interested in agentic workflows, web automation, and the systems that make AI usable in production. 🎯 Always keen to meet others building at the edge of AI, and developer infra.
