I’m a SaaS founder passionate about building software products that work. My journey began in federal software consulting in the US, where I learned the art of building companies. Later, I led a 35-member outsourcing division in India, discovering how small, focused teams can achieve big goals.
Currently, I’m building SaaS products for the eCommerce space, helping small businesses thrive. I believe you don’t need a huge team or fancy degrees to build great software—just clear ideas, quick execution, and a team that believes in the vision. People know me as someone who thrives under pressure, gets things done, and brings out the best in those around me. If you’re building a SaaS product, finding Product-Market Fit, or need help turning ideas into action, let’s connect!.
