about
Hey! I’m a tech founder, dropout, and son of refugees. I’m based in Toronto and am one of the lucky few able to happily work full-time with my wife (shocking, I know!).
I write long-form essays to share what I’m learning, building, and wrestling with along the way.
You’ll find notes on:
Life — dropping out, loss, immigrant expectations, relationships, family business
Ideas — agency, purpose, achievement
Building — startups, product, AI, leverage
Expect 1-2 posts a month. Some personal, some philosophical, and some about building.
