Designer ⎯ Developer ⎯ Artist ⎯ Volunteer

I love building digital stuff⎯ mobile apps, web apps etc. I have worked mostly with startups within food-tech, agri-tech, health-tech, fintech and ed-tech sectors. When I’m not obsessing over users on my laptop 💻, I’m either painting 🎨 🖌️ or collaborating with friends on Open Source projects. I believe that humans are (or should aspire to be) multimodal.
