My Ventures
The businesses and projects I've built, co-founded, or actively participate in.
Primary Ventures

My Venture Philosophy
I believe in building businesses that solve real problems with minimal complexity. My approach to ventures is guided by a few core principles:
- →Small by design: I embrace the micro agency model - small, specialized teams of experts who deliver exceptional quality without the overhead of traditional agencies.
- →Sustainable growth: I build for long-term sustainability rather than rapid scaling at all costs.
- →Value-first: Every business I'm involved with must deliver genuine value to its users and customers.
- →Technology as an enabler: I use technology to solve problems, not as an end in itself.
- →Continuous learning: Each venture is an opportunity to learn and improve, feeding back into future projects.
- →Expertise over breadth: I focus on deep competence in specific areas rather than offering a wide range of shallow services.
This philosophy has guided me through multiple successful ventures and continues to inform how I approach new opportunities.
