Tova

Co-Founder & CEO

Jul 2024 – Present · 1 yr 11 mos · Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR

Tova is a private social club offering curated access to the best events, venues, and people across the city — from exclusive hobby groups and cultural showcases to invite-only parties and networking circles. Since launch, we've scaled from zero to 1000s of members across both Hong Kong & Singapore.
I'm also the sole engineer. What we've built so far:
A full product stack — React Native (live on App Store and Google Play), Next.js web, Supabase backend, auth, payments, internal tooling
Production LLM agents for member onboarding, event curation, Q&A, and comms — prompt engineering, tool use, retrieval over member data
A personalised event recommendation engine on OpenAI embeddings and pgvector, with a weighted ensemble combining semantic similarity, collaborative filtering, and behavioural feedback signals
A go-to-market motion across two cities — customer discovery, partner onboarding, pricing, launch

Developer

Jul 2017 – Jul 2017 · 0 mo · Greater Bengaluru Area

I was assigned to conduct research on ET500 companies. I developed Python scripts using the pandas library to automate my task. I finished my stipulated task in a much shorter time than expected because of the automation. I learned a lot about advertisement & marketing during the rest of my internship.
