Message

At Softograph, I took a bootstrapped technology company from a single founder to around 50 people and four profitable business units. I shifted the business from project-based services toward product-led growth, launching SaaS products in AI recruitment analytics, counterfeit detection, and enterprise data access.

I designed and deployed a production agentic AI operating system with 40 specialist agents, and an integration-testing gate that caught 83% of post-build defects before client delivery. Through independent strategic advisory, I developed the business plan and investor narrative for a US EdTech startup that raised $3M; I’ve also advised on market entry and commercial strategy across several regions.
