I started my career as an Android developer in 2009, shortly after getting my first smartphone. What began as curiosity quickly turned into a passion for building software that people actually use.

Over the years, I've worked across wearables, fintech, and e-commerce — leading engineering teams at startups like Teempu (YC W18) and serving as Director of Engineering at a Shopify-focused agency before founding Pear Shadow.

Today, I lead a small but mighty team building mobile apps, Shopify stores, and AI-powered solutions for clients ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies. I believe in "venture building" — treating every project as if it were our own.
