I'm 23. I studied computer science, taught myself deep learning, and spent two years as a researcher before moving into product engineering. UI/UX has been a quiet obsession the whole way through — I tend to care most about the parts of software people actually touch.

These days I build AI-first products as an indie hacker. I approach startups from first principles: watch for step-change shifts in technology, design things that feel inevitable, and keep teams small enough to compound quickly. Taste, speed, and clarity of judgment matter more to me than novelty.

The next decade will reward founders who pair AI-native intuition with disciplined product thinking. Kareverie is how I'm building toward that horizon — and I'm always open to conversations with long-term investors who back founders early, before the story is obvious.
