About

Part philosopher, part mathematician.

My working style oscillates between two selves. I think deeply about humans, their emotions, their desires - akin more to a philosopher. On other end I think like a mathematician, about the right tech framework, software architecture and user interface.

The mission that ties it together: build spaces and products that have empathy engineered into them, translating insights about humans into things people genuinely value and love to use.

I trained as an architect, worked across Europe, India and Australia, and now spend my days somewhere between geometry, machine-learning, design, computation, prototyping experiments and the occasional absurd side project.
