About

I’ve earned three master’s degrees in engineering and business, but the most valuable lesson I’ve learned? Meaningful connections are everything. In 2022, I founded Buzzable after experiencing firsthand the loneliness and isolation of moving to a new country. Did you know that 61% of adults have less than three friends or no friends at all? That stat hit home, and I knew there had to be a better way to bring people together. I coded the first full-stack version of Buzzable, built a cross-functional team of 18 talented people, and launched our beta on the web, Google, and Apple. Along the way, I partnered with local bands and event creators, hosted events, and raised our first funding round. Buzzable transforms events into thriving communities and now, we’re on a mission to scale Buzzable to 1 billion doers. Buzzable is the future of community connection. I’m grateful for the incredible momentum we’re building—our team is growing, our traction is strong, and we’re successfully raising our extension round as we prepare for our seed round. Let’s connect! I’d love to chat about Buzzable, partnerships, or just share ideas. Have a great day!
