Bringing useful and interesting things to life through technology.

These days, I’m building Unifabriq. Before that, I helped build Vision Buddy and easyPLAY. I’m on a mission to build technology that improves the way people experience life.

Building now

Unifabriq

Co-founder & CEO

Making the physical world as programmable as the digital one.

I’m building Unifabriq around a shared foundation of identity and trust, connecting people, spaces, devices, and digital services. I want buildings to respond to context, systems to act together, and developers to create experiences that move naturally between software and the real world. Access is our starting point. The larger ambition is to change how we design and experience the places where we live and work.

For someone with low vision, watching television or reading a page can mean working around details most people take for granted. Vision Buddy brings assistive technology into those familiar moments.

As a founding team member and initial Co-CEO and COO, I worked across business strategy, product, and operations.

The Vision Buddy story
Co-founderFormer CTO

From the pool to the hotel room, easyPLAY let guests take tournament games with them on their own devices. Launched across nine MGM resorts in Las Vegas, it connected mobile gaming with the experience of being on property.

I helped bring it to market as co-founder and CTO at oneLIVE.
