About

I've been writing software since 1992 and building my own companies since 2013. The pivot from engineer to entrepreneur started at 3 AM on December 26, 2012, when I launched MerchantWords — an Amazon keyword research tool that went on to help over 130,000 sellers find their customers. That moment changed everything for me, and I haven't looked back.

These days I spend my time incubating products across e-commerce, real estate, procurement, and whatever else catches my curiosity. I like solving problems that feel just out of reach.
