Small Business Owner @ Paqqa

About

I'm driven by curiosity and a passion for figuring things out – especially where technology, creativity, and strategy collide. I enjoy building tools that solve real problems and exploring how new tech works, from mobile apps to automated workflows and AI. This translates into hands-on experience building Mobile Apps (Flutter/Dart for Crypto/FinTech & internal business tools), creating Workflow Automations (Python & Premiere Pro scripting), and developing automated AI content pipelines for TikTok (scaling a channel to 1M+ likes with viral growth). I also bring experience in e-commerce operations (driving +240% revenue growth at Paqqa) and enjoy leveraging data strategically.
