I'm the Managing Partner at a textile machinery trading firm, and the founder of a dairy venture and an automation solutions company — all running in parallel. My work sits where physical systems meet software, and where business logic meets technical execution.

I don't just design solutions on paper. I prototype, deploy, manage infrastructure, and iterate until things work in production. Whether it's optimising procurement on a factory floor, deploying containerised applications, building an AI agent that converts leads, or managing a personal equity portfolio — I operate across the full stack of building and running things.
