ABOUT ME
Before that, I built a profitable agency providing software design and development services to startups and multi-national companies, and had the opportunity to work with companies across a variety of industries including healthcare, wellness, real-estate, non-profits, professional services, consulting, and travel.
Beyond my professional endeavors, I have a deep interest in technologies that drive us towards a healthier and more sustainable future. I’m also a student of human behavior, and I have a special interest in technologies that drive change.
In my free time, I work with entrepreneurs helping them make better product/business decisions, learn more about human behavior, play my Baritone Ukulele or most importantly spend time with family and friends 🙂
