Building privacy first products

About

I’m passionate about privacy, consent, and putting individuals in control of their personal data. I am engineer at heart, love building solutions, understanding how things work, and finding smarter, low-cost ways to solve complex problems. For the past 10 years, I worked in the Finance industry, collaborating closely with tech partners to design solutions that improved data transparency, delivered efficiency savings, and helped teams make better decisions. I am on a mission build privacy-first solutions where personal identity is at the centre of product design and strategy. I am currently exploring zero-knowledge proofs and blockchain to create zero-trust systems that serve organisational needs AND ensuring personal data never gets compromised or left in the backseat.

Why I built CVOR?

CVOR came from solving two personal frustrations - data control and job search clarity.

Data felt disposable - Personal documents are shared, stored, and discarded with little care - Once shared, you lose control over where they end up - I wanted a way to retain control even after sharing - Inspired by a childhood memory my dad crossing out documents to make them useless elsewhere - This led to recipient-oriented watermarking the foundation of CVOR Guard

Job search felt broken - Too many tools, tabs, and fragmented workflows - Constant guesswork: Am I even a good fit? - Time wasted reading, applying, and getting instant rejections - Manual effort: copying jobs, tailoring CVs, tracking applications - Existing tools didn t help - expensive subscriptions, mass-apply bots creating false productivity, black-box scoring with no real explanation

What I wanted instead - Fewer tools, more clarity - Decide before applying, not after - Understand why a role fits or doesn t - Keep everything private and under my control

Job Matching - Review Jobs Matched To Your CV Before You Apply

CVOR is built around a simple but rare principle: your data stays with you. Unlike typical tools that push more applications, CVOR focuses on helping you decide whether to apply in the first place. It combines private job matching (CVOR Scout) with real-world document control (CVOR Guard), making it both a career decision tool and a secure document manager in one app. No accounts, no tracking, no manipulation.
