My Story

15 years of building taught me what matters — products that change lives

I've spent 15 years building products. From developer to CTO, working with Glenfiddich, Volkswagen, Language Drops and more. That experience sharpened how I think about what makes a product worth using. Today, I channel all of it into products that genuinely help people.

Freedom to Focus

10 years remote because it's where I thrive. Deep focus, family time, and work that fits life, not the other way around.

My Mission

I build products that help people become who they aspire to be.

I believe the best products are the ones that help people become who they aspire to be. That belief drives everything I build — from meditation apps to productivity tools to personal growth experiences. The goal is always the same: create something that earns a place in someone's life because it genuinely makes that life better.
