Bio

Builder. Strategist. Always shipping.

I'm a serial founder who loves turning ideas into products people actually use. Over the years, I've built companies like Invoice Manager, a top App Store product, later acquired, and Educode Academy, an EdTech platform adopted across Canada and named one of the country's most-growing startups of 2018.

My latest venture, Calldonna, is the first virtual receptionist built for small businesses, answering calls, booking appointments, and capturing every lead so owners never miss work again. It just launched under iCube Labs, and it's the clearest expression yet of what I love doing: putting powerful AI into the hands of people who run real businesses.

My background is in intelligent systems, SaaS, and conversational AI, but what really drives me is building products that scale and create lasting value. Along the way, I wrote Atomic AI, a book exploring the future of artificial intelligence and automation.

At heart, I'm equal parts builder and strategist. I love digging into the details of product design while keeping an eye on the bigger picture of growth and impact. Always curious, always building.
