My Journey
I make things happen, and I make them happen quickly.
At age 15, I founded my software company Brain 2.0 as a platform to solve and evolve using tech. With Brain 2.0 expanding its horizons, we are now a multi-faceted solutions company providing a variety of services to both companies and individuals.
At age 19, I was headhunted by Amazon to join their Supply Chain Automation division. It was through joining this entrepreneurial team that I was able to build Amazon Europe's leading Supply Chain data visualisation tool and develop the interface and CI/CD pipeline to our organisation's leading data model, saving 10s of millions $ on a weekly basis (and we're just getting started).
I joined forces with 1Club, an entrepreneurship private club as a founding member and ambassador to foster harmony between yesterday's innovators, today's achievers, and tomorrow's leaders.
One thing you can always expect from me is a helping hand. Whether it being a mentor for the past 3 years, a teaching assistant throughout my academic journey, or a director in 2 companies that aim to provide platforms to the disadvantaged and a voice to the unheard.
I'm currently building PLAYBACK, a solutions aggregator that's making premium sports software and equipment more accessible - ultimately becoming the Operating System for Sports.
I make things happen, and I make them happen quickly.
