I started in 2017 writing mobile apps for clients on Fiverr — more than fifty of them. That's where I learned the thing engineering school doesn't teach: nobody pays for code. They pay for outcomes.
That mindset took me from freelancer to co-founder, then to leading engineering at an agritech startup — architecting microservices, running cloud infrastructure and managing a team while the product scaled to thousands of daily users.
Then AI changed what a small team could do. Not the hype — the real, operational leverage. Now I build businesses at that intersection: agents that work around the clock, automation that scales without headcount, and products with intelligence at the core.
