About

I break things, then build better ones. Started as a data analyst. Moved into data engineering β€” learned to think before I build. πŸ’»Now I'm a co-founder, and those two instincts run everything. I love the process more than the outcome β€” the moment a messy idea becomes a clean system, whether that's a data pipeline, a photo composition, or a product flow. That obsession is what any idea is built on.βœ… If you're a founder, a builder, or just someone who hates digital chaos β€” I'd love to connect.πŸŽ‰

Solo founders: would you do it again?

I went through YC as a solo founder and I'm 6 years in now. I sometimes wonder whether I'd go solo again if I started a new company.

The good parts are obvious. No cofounder conflict, fast decisions, all the equity.

What β€œlow-cost” stack would you recommend for a first-time founder launching a product to save money

AI is a great, cheap foundation we can all agree on that (depending on token usage, of course).

When you re building your first product, and you re not sure if it will work and earn money, the obvious goal is to keep costs as low as possible and avoid burning money early on.

The agent feature we shipped, then quietly killed 3 months later

Some lessons only land when you have to retire something you were proud of.

What we shipped: a fully autonomous agent that could approve low-risk customer service refunds without human review. Cost-justified, well-scoped, passed every test.
