Summary

I love to dig into client problems and solve them using modern technology. I enjoy the challenge of creating, scaling, and optimizing client portfolios.

.

My personal and professional experiences have taught me the following about myself:

  • I can successfully scale up con-tech businesses in revenue.
  • I put the clients at the center of all that I do.
  • I excel at the execution of big ideas with given constraints
  • My gut instinct is good but I still seek data for my decisions

.

I educate, refine and drive myself to be a better person

  • I am constantly learning because I never settle
  • I stay calm when faced with adversity
  • I focus on making high-quality decisions

.

I am a tech geek myself. I tried to pick up data analytics which was a great success. I regularly attend tech meetups & conferences.
.

I enjoy meeting new people and hearing new perspectives. Reach out if you want to talk to me about emerging tech, construction data or volleyball league.
