Builder of Via — travel memory tools

About

I’m a product builder who loves turning frustrating everyday problems into simple tools. Most recently I built Via, an app that helps travelers save places from Instagram and TikTok reels and actually find them again later. The idea came from my own trips where I kept losing great cafés and restaurants I saw online. I enjoy building small, useful products that sit at the intersection of AI, travel, and memory. Previously worked in tech and product at companies like Microsoft and Expedia. Always curious about what new tools can unlock for individuals.

Via - Turn travel reels into places you can actually find again

Travel inspiration lives in Instagram and TikTok, but saving those places is surprisingly hard. You pause a reel, try to catch the name, then forget it later. Via fixes that. Share any reel to Via and it extracts the places automatically. Save them to your personal map and recall them later with AI search. Stop losing travel spots. Turn reels into places you can actually go.
