About

I love building things. Apps, websites, physical products, businesses. If it can be shipped, I want to ship it. I'm not optimizing for revenue (yet). I'm optimizing for reps.

Originally from Johannesburg, I went to boarding school in KwaZulu-Natal, took a gap year across Southeast Asia, learned to cook, and landed at NYU Stern where I study Business Technology and Entrepreneurship. Currently abroad at NYU Sydney.

I ship solo under my own Apple Developer account. Stunkelstein is a social deduction party game. Proud pairs people up for food accountability with an AI coach. Bummy lets you connect with strangers on a live map. And GreenMamba is in the works: using AI to automate investing for young South Africans.

I'm also building HoleGuard, a physical product: eye drops engineered to solve chlorine exposure for water polo players. Not everything has to be an app.

Before all this, I interned in private equity in London and as a Product, Strategy and Research intern at Yoco in South Africa.
