I co-found and build companies — pairing hands-on software engineering with product leadership. Three ventures live today, a PhD in Mathematics behind me, and 15+ years shipping web, desktop and mobile products for teams around the world.

I started in pure mathematics — a PhD in group theory and years of research and teaching — where I learned to hold a large, abstract picture in my head and reason it to a proof. That same instinct now drives how I build products and companies.
Over 15+ years I've grown from front-end and full-stack engineering into product and development leadership: shipping React / Node.js / Electron applications, managing software teams, and owning products end to end. Along the way I earned a Top-Rated freelance track record and delivered for companies from early startups to established platforms.
Today my focus is entrepreneurship — turning ideas into operating companies. With VParking I'm tackling urban space and infrastructure; with Anjoy, human wellbeing and experience; and with Mekena, software that runs real-world taxi fleets. Different worlds, same craft: build something real, sweat the details, ship it well.
