Welcome to my blog!

Here, you’ll find the weekly updates of my journey as a Co-Founder and CEO of an early-stage technology startup. The goal of these posts is to share the story and learnings as they unfold in real time instead of after success or failure has been reached. By de-romanticizing the narrative, I hope to share information, ideas, and challenges in a transparent manner that sparks conversation and inspires change.

Who am I? I’m an engineer who said yes to an idea. I’m a leader who’s ready to take on business challenges from the top instead of the bottom. I’m a community builder ready to set an example for inclusive and equitable workplaces. And I’m a Co-Founder and CEO of a technology startup.
