About

In third year, while most were chasing intern certificates, I started freelancing and accidentally turned it into a team offering web services. Skipped placements, partnered with a batchmate and built Excrin, our very own design-dev agency. Taught myself design, led a team of 30, and somehow ended up consulting for top startups (and occasionally, fixing what agencies before us broke). Eight years, a few client scars, and a lot of Figma files later, we partnered with Coderapper, joining forces with Sedin to scale e-commerce for serious brands. Now, building Fitchek, a product born from too many AI experiments and not enough patience for traditional photoshoots for brands. Still obsessed with building teams that scale and side projects that don’t always make sense… until they do.
