I turn ambitious ideas into real-world products.
From raw proof of concept to polished solution, I love the messy, creative process of building what hasn't existed before.We're living through the AI revolution - what a time to be alive, boundaries are being rewritten in real time, and possibilities are bigger than ever.If you're working on something bold, or sparked an idea that won’t leave you alone, get in touch.If you can dream it, I can build it.

InterviewBuddy™
As the sole PM, I drive the product to build modular, user-friendly tools that make preparation and hiring simple, structured and unbiased. From reimagining the UI/UX to addressing enterprise-grade needs and AI-powered capabilities, I turn complex processes into seamless, intuitive experiences.

The platform aimed to help compare meal prices, discover more outlets, and have greater control over pickup and delivery, all while staying within tight budgets.

Foodpresso
Total freedom to order food, your way.
Why Foodpresso?Food delivery apps were (and to-date still are to an extent) noisy, cluttered, and filled with pushy tactics. Foodpresso was our way of saying - enough.We wanted a simpler, calmer space to order food. One that had:* No confusing menus
* No surprise charges at checkout
* No pressure to buy what you don’t need
Just a platform that respected your time, money, and choices.What Made It Different1. Everything in One Place* See options from multiple delivery apps side by side
* Compare menus, prices, delivery time, and ratings
* Built to help you decide smarter, not faster2. Self-Pickup, Simplified* Pick up your order yourself if that works better
* Get directions and alerts when you're near the restaurant
* Saves time for both you and the kitchen
Visuals from 2019 - Idea validation stage :)

* Great for office lunch hours or weekly routines
* No more last-minute scrambling4. Lock Your Budget* Set your budget before you browse

* Spotlight on new and lesser-known restaurants
* No pay-to-play listings - just better visibility for allThe Thinking Behind ItWe never set out to beat the biggest players. Foodpresso was about rethinking food delivery from a user’s point of view - clean, honest, and intentional.It was about clarity over clutter, purpose over pressure, and usefulness over gimmicks.Why We Moved OnEven with solid feedback from mentors, surveys and interviews, we made the call to wrap things up. Why?* Big players could copy niche ideas overnight
* Third-party APIs limited our flexibility
* Our best features appealed to a smaller (but loyal) audience
* We wanted to work on things with more control and long-term potentialFoodpresso isn’t up anymore - but everything it taught me shows up in how I build today: with empathy, efficiency, and deep respect for the end user.
