About

With a robust 14-year background in the software industry, I currently hold the esteemed position of CEO at Emporfy. In this role, I provide strategic guidance and consultation to companies, particularly in the web2/web3 space, enhancing their software engineering efforts. My passion lies in crafting secure, reliable, and high-performing products that deliver significant value to businesses and their customers. My journey in the software industry includes a significant tenure at Stitch Labs, where I served as a Senior Software Engineer. In this role, I honed my skills in enhancing products and services for our customers. I was instrumental in implementing software features in the eCommerce industry, setting up big-data analytical tools like BigQuery, and creating and maintaining core logic. Additionally, I played a pivotal role in the growth of our team by hiring and onboarding new engineers. If you catch me outside of work, I love exploring the possibilities of blockchain, augmented realities, IoT, and trading. I am also a certified dive master and recommend immersing everyone in the underwater world - it's mind-blowing! I also like meeting new people over coffee or at tech meetups.
