    title: Founder
    role: Founder
    bio: I'm a tech entrepreneur with a background in software engineering, growth, and design, specializing in location-based consumer products. Currently, I'm focused on building In The Room. I started my tech journey in 2010, teaching myself to code while creating a mobile on-demand music platform that gained 500,000 users in just a few months (pre-Spotify). Later, I co-founded a two-person AI startup, scaling it to a projected $36M in revenue within 42 months before exiting.
