TRAITS

My forte is to transform ideas to functional prototypes; then mature the prototypes to MVP by means of iterative and incremental development.

​I am a Maker at heart !

I have curiosity to explore new things, accompanied with the ability to quickly learn and acquire new skills. I frequently find myself venturing into unknown technical territories and carving my way out. I am courageous enough to push myself outside of my comfort zone and take up new challenges.

I love leading and playing stellar roles, building and mentoring core teams; working with passionate and like minded individuals to accomplish big goals with minimal resources. I am obsessed with growth and technology!

I have a tendency to run towards fire 🙂
