About me

At 14, I launched a grocery delivery service, and by 17, I had successfully exited an AI-powered internship portal. This foundation led me to the UK in 2019 for a Master’s in Management and Entrepreneurship.

In 2020, I co-founded SwiftSkill, which I scaled to 1M users within 30 months. In 2021, we secured pre-seed VC funding and expanded rapidly. By 2023, I founded unmess (formerly Obsidian) to change how FP&A teams integrate data and break silos. In 2024, I launched unmess and began investing in early-stage startups.
