Welcome to this space
My professional journey has taken shape across payments, technology, and business building in Asia. I’ve spent years working with teams and partners to launch ideas, scale platforms, and navigate the kind of complexity that only shows up when you’re operating across markets, cultures, and customers. What I’ve valued most through all of this is perspective. The kind you only get by staying close to execution and being open to learning along the way.

Sometimes that curiosity takes the form of building something new. Other times, it’s as simple as learning a new language to better understand a culture I’m working in.
This site is a snapshot of that ongoing journey. If something here resonates, sparks a question, or feels worth exploring together, I’d be happy to connect.

If the thought of “working a room” makes you want to hide in the bathroom, you’re not alone. The good news?
