I build useful things
and the teams behind them.

A technologist, founder, and writer working across products, infrastructure, and the practical work of making teams effective.

01 / About

A record of building,
then learning again.

In 2015, I helped start Foody in Cyprus. Foody joined Delivery Hero in 2019, where the next chapter was learning how local product knowledge, systems, and teams change at greater scale.

From 2022 to 2025, I joined Staycaee as a technical co-founder. The company later rebranded to Moving Doors. The role began as advisory work; wanting equity and a more active stake pulled me into the company. In 2026, I am at Terra, working on infrastructure for health products and considering what changes when agents become users too.
