Tech with intention
Writing about my experiences across startups and continents, and the lessons they continue to teach me.
Documenting my journey through tech, marketing, product, and personal growth as I navigate my own path.
This blog is where I publicly explore how technology can be used thoughtfully, what it means to build responsibly, and how personal growth shapes the way we work and create. I don’t offer grand theories or perfect frameworks—just honest observations from my personal road so far.
What I Write About
1. Startup Growth
Marketing-led Growth · Product-led Growth · AI for Growth
Practical insights on how early-stage companies gain traction and scale. Covers acquisition, product-led growth, and the real use of AI inside startup teams. Includes lessons from growth experiments, cross-functional product work, founder collaboration, and research-backed perspectives on how AI is transforming startup growth.
My perspective comes from supporting founders at Techstars, working as a Growth Product Manager at one of America’s fastest-growing startups, and publishing peer-reviewed research on AI for startup growth. Everything I share is distilled, actionable, and based on experience—not theory.

Reflections on Life & Work · Life Experiments · Global Citizen Mindset
Explorations of how to build and live with intention in a fast-moving tech world. Reflections on identity, ambition, clarity, and navigating life across different cultures. Personal notes on staying grounded, making better decisions, and using technology thoughtfully to create human-centered progress.
These reflections explore how to build a meaningful career, make better decisions, and use technology with intention. If you’re trying to grow your startup while staying reflected as a person, this space is for you.
