🧩 Some Questions I Keep Coming Back To

🤖 How will AI agents reshape the way software gets built?

🏗️ What does a startup architecture look like when it's built to survive rapid growth, not just launch?

🎯 How do you design an MVP that optimizes for learning, not feature count?

🌱 How does a simple idea quietly evolve into a platform?

🎯 Current Mission

Building software that sits at the intersection of:

Artificial Intelligence × Startup Execution × Human-Centered Design

The internet has enough infinite feeds.
I'm more interested in building ambitious products with intentional endings.
