Design, Tech, Engineering, Curation, Fashion, etc
At 10 years old, I began coding and quickly gained traction with millions of downloads on games and apps I developed. By 16, I had over 15 million combined downloads from games I self-published or sold to publishers. I often reverse-engineered/decompiled apps and games to extract source code or hacked into different systems for the fun of the technical challenge.
At 16, I launched a brand, which I later sold to an American conglomerate. I continued expanding my ventures by founding one of the largest vintage designer stores online.
After that I started a few other businesses and invested/acquired some others as well. Later, I became Head of Technology for the group that owns 180 Studios/The Vinyl Factory.
Throughout, I’ve consistently honed my skills in software engineering, creative direction, design, mechanical engineering, UI/UX, strategy, product management, system architecture, machine learning etc... My entrepreneurial spirit is rooted in solving problems, analogical thinking, creating demand, and delivering value across diverse industries.
