THE ORIGIN
I write code with the discipline of a structural engineer.
My career didn't start in a startup incubator. It started on construction sites and in cement plants. As a draftsman, I learned a brutal lesson early on: Reality doesn't compile if the architecture is flawed.
Today, I apply that same industrial rigor to digital strategy. While others chase hype, I look for "structural integrity" in business models and code. My specific superpower is translating the efficiency of a factory floor into the agility of a software company.

The Hybrid Advantage
In the boardroom, you don't need another tech optimist. You need a realist who speaks the language of money and the language of machines.
The Economist
BSc Business Admin | MAS Digital Business | Ex-CISO
Governance, Risk Management, P&L responsibility. I evaluate technology not by its hype, but by its ROI and strategic fit.
The Builder
Python | AI Agents | Automation
I don't rely on PowerPoint. I build prototypes to validate feasibility. If I can't build the MVP in 48h, the 6-month project plan is likely wrong.
The Lab: Current Explorations
"Show, don't just tell." Current MVPs built to test automation hypotheses before scaling.
Autonomous CRM Scout
The Problem: Sales teams miss leads hidden in industry news.
The Build: AI Agent scraping newsletters, mapping relationships, and auto-populating the CRM.
Result: Zero-touch lead generation.
Active Voice Orchestrator
The Problem: Coordination calls consume massive human time.
The Build: A Voicebot that actively calls stakeholders and executes real-time database actions based on the conversation.
Status: Internal Beta.
The SaaS Exit Strategy
The Problem: Usage-based pricing of low-code platforms eating margins.
The Build: Strategic migration to a self-hosted open-source stack.
Result: 90% reduction in licensing costs.
