Biography
Relocated to Toronto. I'm 26, and started coding and building websites at age 7. I've founded 3 startups in the last several years, with the latest one profitable and revenue positive within its first week. Currently, I invest in early stage technology ideas and consult for a select group of clients.
I'm passionate about exceptional user experiences, business development, marketing, and matching real-world market demands with technology ventures that cater to them.
Some highlights:
- First commercial client at age 9 (friend's dad ran an embroidery company)
- Closing a 10K job with sidewalk chalk and hopscotch (ask me).
- Joining the board of directors for a regional Business Accelerator facility.
- Designed the brand/persona of a 30,000 sq ft gym at age 21.
- Managing a national software development project involving over 20 team members, for a global wine and spirits company.
- Becoming a client at the Accelerator Centre from Waterloo in Fall 2011 to Spring 2012.
- Traveling to San Francisco, London UK, Scotland, Paris, Italy, Greece.
