About

I'm a former software engineer turned entrepreneur, still passionate about coding. I thrive on solving complex technical challenges, with a strong focus on creating intuitive user experiences. I’ve configured, deployed, and operated video streaming setups handling multiple terabits per second of throughput. My expertise spans web optimization, HTTP, DNS protocols, and AWS cloud services, including serverless architectures. Previously, I worked at Akamai, where I managed multi-million dollar projects for their largest customer. I also co-founded and successfully sold KISHA, the company behind the world’s first smart umbrella.
