My tenure in these positions has equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to assess market needs and navigate complex challenges. This wealth of experience has led me to recognize untapped potential and identify areas where innovative solutions can make a significant impact.

I am driven by a passion to solve high-friction problems with scalable, intelligent systems — and committed to building transformative experiences that reshape how customers interact, transact, and trust digital journeys.
