Former CTO at Whisper ($200M valuation), VP of Engineering Uniswap ($1.5B+ in user assets), and Sr. Director at Snap (400M+ users), now founder of AI dating app Sitch.

Took Whisper from zero to 200M+ users and 10B+ monthly views; built and led a 27-person eng team from scratch.

At Snap, led Messaging, Music, and Minis—driving global usage across 400M+ daily active users.

Led engineering at Uniswap during rapid product expansion and multi-chain growth, reaching $1.5B+ in user assets.

Founded and sold Inaka, a 40-person dev agency (clients: VISA, MTV, MeetMe), acquired by Erlang Solutions in 2014.

Things I can advise on:
✔️ Scaling products to 100M+ users
✔️ Building & leading eng orgs
✔️ Fundraising for technical founders
✔️ Launching AI & consumer apps
✔️ Hiring & org design for scale
