About

I’m a product leader and former YC founder with an engineering background. I’ve taken products from zero to early scale at startups and large enterprises like Indeed and Microsoft. I love building great products and the teams that ship them. I moved to the US at 19 with $2k in my pocket and knowing only one person. Since then I’ve worked on five startups as a founder or early employee and backed more than a dozen others. • Tennr – Founding Product Manager at the fastest-growing AI healthtech startup in the US. • Deako – Co-founder & CPO; our smart-lighting product now comes pre-installed in roughly 1 in 7 new homes built in the US. • Limeade – Early engineer to Director of Engineering; the company went public. • GradeEdge – Co-founder; the company was acquired. • Selected as one of a small group of YC alumni to lead a Y Combinator Startup School batch. At Indeed, I led product for the internal incubator. Our teams consistently launched products that were either acquired by core business lines or became standalone businesses, contributing to an $8B+ revenue company. I bring a mix of technical depth, hands-on leadership, and experience across early-stage startups, scaled enterprises,
