The operator behind the portfolio

I have spent 30+ years building and securing technology organisations for some of the world’s most demanding businesses — from Goldman Sachs and Yahoo India to high-growth gaming, media and fintech companies at scale. As a VP of IT and CIO, I have led cloud transformations, built ISO 27001-compliant security programmes from scratch, and run global infrastructure teams across six time zones.

The products on this page are what I build when the workday ends — software solving problems I have lived personally, engineered with the same rigour I apply to enterprise architecture. If you are an investor, you are backing a founder who has already shipped, already operates, and has the scars to scale without burning capital on lessons already learned. If you are an employer, you are looking at a technologist whose ideas do not live in decks — they ship to production.
