About

I like taking things from zero to one and telling the story as we go. I work where tech, marketing and community meet. Right now, I’m growing Port Messenger - privacy-first and open-source for people who’d rather not share their phone number with everyone. If you’re building something good or just want to swap ideas, my DMs are open. Ex-Bluelearn. Say hi. :)

We become wiser; and wish someone had given us the right advice at the right time.
