ABOUT ME

I'm a systems thinker turned software architect turned engineering leader turned community builder. My journey began in textile operations, process design, and system analysis — which is where my operational discipline and systems mindset was built.

With 19 years spanning textile operations to global software architecture, I bring a rare blend of operational discipline and modern engineering expertise. I've worked with startups across the US, Australia, Argentina, Estonia, and Pakistan.

Currently, I'm the VP of Product & Engineering at SimpliEd, leading product strategy, engineering culture transformation, and scalable architecture for EdTech solutions used by thousands of students, teachers, and parents.
