about

generalist by trade, confessional by nature.

i graduated with a degree in electronics engineering, but spent more time at the centre of innovation & entrepreneurship than i did in classes. i explored pre-sales and consulting before stumbling upon dognosis.

getting to work with dogs & being a generalist who can sift between domains? found the dream role. my week runs through finops, brand, product and gtm, sometimes all before wednesday. outside of work, i like to write, poems, essays, haikus, anything that is cathartic. i like pretty things, and capturing them on my camera.

i'm sidequesting on an ambitious goal to collect 500 rejections by the end of next year. so if you see me somewhere, it is my humble attempt at moonshotting my way into a rejection, or a surprising yes.

work

less a highlight reel, more what i'm building and who i'm building it with.
founder's office · now

dognosis

i'm in the founder's office at dognosis, helping a small team teach machines to catch cancer earlier, tech inspired by what dogs can smell. day to day i move between finops, brand, product and gtm, wherever the week needs me. it's collaborative, deeply unglamorous, and the most meaningful thing i've gotten to build.

pre-sales & consulting · before

early chapters

before dognosis, i explored pre-sales and consulting, sitting with cold markets, long cycles, and plenty of nos. it's where i got comfortable building from zero and learned to hear "not yet" without flinching, which turns out to be most of the job.

writings

confessional essays and poems about love, grief, and the rest of it. i stopped for a while. this is me finding the path back.

what's alive right now, still a little unfinished.

writing again

started putting poems back out into the world after a long quiet stretch.

soon

a substack

moving the longer essays somewhere with more room to breathe.
