about
I am a former software engineer turned product manager turned founder (back to my engineering roots). With experience building and launching AI products at companies like Datadog, Puppet, and Budibase, I have a passion for transforming user needs into innovative deeply technical solutions that scale.
Currently ideating on solving bias in technical hiring, I previously built Stow, the agentic integration layer across chat applications like WhatsApp and Telegram.

Stow | stowaway.io
Founder | Sept 2024 – April 2024
Developed an agentic integration layer for chat applications, building the MVP in under 6 months using Golang and Next.js on AWS. Secured £50K+ in grants including acceptance to Founder Labs accelerator (<10% acceptance rate). Built a waiting list of 250+ users through organic marketing while validating product-market fit. This experience highlighted the barriers to AI compute access for smaller companies, informing my current focus on democratising AI capabilities.
